March 08, 2026 We’ve been playing with computer vision — and found something amazing. A library that compares your camera view with Google Street View panoramas. If it finds a match, it can tell exactly where you are — without GPS! This opens up some wild new ideas: It’s like geo-positioning… by sight.
February 24, 2026 We’re excited to share that we’ve just released Version 6.9 of the Reality Rift prototype — now featuring an updated offline mode. This version represents another important step in development, and we’re continuing to refine and improve the experience. The prototype is currently available for Android and can be downloaded from our…

February 08, 2026 If you watched our gameplay footage and noticed the camera jumping around, you weren’t wrong Some Android phones, especially low-cost models, don’t have any stabilization, neither optical nor digital. When we recorded screen captures using AR, even tiny hand movements made the scene shake like crazy The good news? It doesn’t affect…

January 25, 2026 We’re moving from a simple on-device prototype to a true multiplayer-ready system.Here’s what we’re building right now: Stay tuned – Reality Rift is going live.
January 11, 2026 In early development, we assumed that once libraries like ARCore or Unity plugins worked – they’d just keep working. Spoiler: they don’t. Every major Android system update risks breaking or disabling parts of the stack. We’ve had features stop working overnight because of changes in how permissions, sensors, or camera systems are…

December 28, 2025 We wanted to create a line of coins, placed between two coordinates. But GPS has issues: it doesn’t handle small, slow movements well. Walking casually on foot? The location data gets fuzzy. So we turned to plane detection — letting ARCore recognize flat surfaces like sidewalks, roads, or grass. AR planes gave…

December 13, 2025 When we say “AR game,” people imagine that any smartphone can handle it. But here’s the truth: many budget Android phones don’t support ARCore, Google’s AR library. Without it, the phone can’t recognize the floor, detect surfaces, or anchor objects in space. We’ve seen this on devices under $150 and on older…

November 28, 2025 Later, we integrated a geolocation library so we could place game objects on real-world map points. That’s when the fun (and math) really started. When the AR scene launches, Unity creates a local coordinate system – and it’s not aligned with the real world. For example, the in-game X-axis might point south…

November 15, 2025 In the early stages of development, we experimented with using the phone’s digital compass to align the game’s internal coordinate system with the real world. The idea was that when the game starts, the X-axis in Unity would point to true north, allowing all virtual objects to be properly aligned with real-world…

November 01, 2025 In the very first Reality Rift prototype, we made a bold decision: no GPS at all. The original idea was simple — you launch the game, and through your camera, a rift between worlds appears. A character steps through and starts following you, using only AR tracking. We skipped the GPS library…
