ABSTRACT
In this paper, we present a novel computer vision based game which exploits multiple game gateways that enable different roles, different multiplayer experiences and also the transition from the traditional on-screen display to the mobileVR in single or multi-player mode while preserving the continuity of the immersive gaming experience. A detailed design and study are given. Three groups of play testers (n=20) played the game while being photographed, and were subsequently interviewed.
