Play a Fantasy Game – Shadow Cities
If real life is just boring compared to the fantasy role-playing games you play online, you can extend that world into your actual surroundings. Shadow Cities turns your neighborhood into a “magical battleground” wherein you go exploring, hunt down rogue spirits, and obtain new spells as you level.
Paint Your City – Tagtool
Paint your city with light and record the results with Tagtool, a fun iPad app that enables you to create your own animations and project them onto urban surfaces. You can even collaborate with another user to create interactive light shows for a crowd. An AV adapter brings the fun inside, if you’d rather just play around at home.
