Shotgun Showdown is a competitive, two player handheld augmented reality game. The game is played on top of a pair of US paper bills, putting the game space on top of the square formed by the money. The game is inspired by the idea of a western-themed shooting gallery, and the content is modeled as 2D cardboard cutouts.
The game was created by:
Chris Ehsaei — MS Electrical Engineering
Andrew Colella — MS Music Technology
Here is a video of the game.
