Aloft is a room-scale augmented reality game, where the player must keep a ballon aloft while navigating it through a dangerous obstacle course of sharp pineapples. The player “virtually” blows on the balloon to move it, and must get the balloon from its starting location to a monkey before it pops.
The game was developed by Edward Layne Jr. (Georgia Tech), Nicholas Poirier (Georgia Tech) and Jeremy Wolff (SCAD).
