The Arcade - a fan based AR experience
Category Price Seller Device
Entertainment Free Next Empire BV iPhone, iPad, iPod

a project by Next Empire, Woodwork and Antfood

Following the upcoming premier of the second season of Stranger Things - Next Empire, Woodwork and Antfood created this fan based, interactive Augmented Reality (AR) experience. An inter-dimensional portal, built with Apple’s new ARkit, lets users walk into and experience another dimension wherever they are. In this case Stranger Things’ The Upside Down, an alternate reality existing in parallel to the human world. The experience is only released on iOS.

Woodwork, Next Empire and Antfood combined their shared love for Stranger Things with the opportunities of the recent release of Apple’s ARkit to create this fan-based AR experience. One of the most conceptually compelling applications of Apple’s ARkit is the so called portal experience, in which users are able to step into another world. In Stranger Things this other world is The Upside Down, which lends itself extremely well for a portal experience.

To further improve the experience - compared to the currently existing inter-dimensional portals built using ARKit - creators have gone further in terms of quality of visuals, quality of sounddesign and use of binaural audio and the interactiveness with multiple actions triggered on location in the scene and viewing direction. Building a truly unique app, which literally opens The Upside Down anywhere users open the app.

PLEASE READ!!!!!!! Please fix this bug!!! I found this game and was really excited to play it, but it doesn't work right. Yes I have an IOS device but all it does is show me the "scan the ground" part and its just a blue screen. It does not let me use the camera at all. It doesn't allow me to play the game.


Love It

All I’m seeing is “scan the ground.” I’ve been on this app for 30 minutes and all it says is “scan the ground.”

This game seems really cool in the App Store but when I went into the app it said I had to “scan the floor”. I have tried many things and it won’t let me get past just that!


Please fix!!

So I’m a HUGE stranger things fan and this seemed really fun so I downloaded on my iPad and I was so excited to play but then it said “scan the ground” and all it said was that and it just showed a phone and it didn’t ask for camera access or anything and it’s very frustrating. Please, please, PLEASE fix this ?
