Description
The Ultimate ARKit Showcase. Mammoth Mini Golf AR is the perfect introduction to the cutting edge of augmented reality. With options for single and local pass-and-play multiplayer everyone can be part of the action. The golf course can be placed on any flat surface and resized from as small as a tabletop to as large as a basketball court. Players move around to get the best angle, set direction, adjust power and putt for glory - while being careful to avoid crazy mammoths, dino-birds and cavemen trying to stop the ball from reaching its home. There are seven courses, each with global leaderboards and trophies. Players can share photos of themselves with their trophies or hanging out in the game world. Players with an iPhone X can even become a mammoth animoji.
History
“We believe augmented reality has a very bright future”, says Simon Edis, one of Ezone.com’s co-founders. “Right now mobile AR is like a magic window into a mixed world. It’s still early days, but the lessons we are learning now will form the foundation for when that window disappears and AR fills your vision. With each new release we are seeing features that help blend the digital and physical worlds. Soon we’ll have AR experiences where you will no longer be able to distinguish what is real and what is computer generated, which will help form an even stronger emotional connection between players and game characters.”

These incredible mobile games flaunt the mind-blowing potential of Apple’s ARKit - Techly
The first thing we love about this game is how it interacts with the physical environment. Each course actually incorporates the surface in front of you – whether it be carpet, floorboards or anything else – into the design, and even the hole itself looks like its dug into the floor. techly.com.au.
