PROS

• Very sturdy
• Works great
• Easy to use
• A lot of fun – even for me!
• Nice way to get into Augmented Reality

CONS

• It takes a while to setup: unscrew, put batteries in and install the app
• You can only use it with the app made for this: so no other games

VERDICT

This Augmented Reality (not virtual) gadget for your smartphone is a cool toy. You power it via AA-batteries and use the app made for this device. There are some cool games – mostly shooters (because it’s an AR Blaster/Gun) – but it’s nothing too fancy. Off course this is still a toy and something to get you going in the world of Augmented Reality. It’s simple really: you move around with the gun, you move around on the screen. You pull the trigger on the gun, you shoot in the game. It’s very responsive and actually a lot of fun shooting zombies. Sometimes scary as well, so be aware! You can find the AR Blaster here.
