If you played PC games back in the 90s, \"Lemmings\" is likely to bring back childhood memories. The studio Globacore<\/a> brings the suicidal voles of the classic 2D game into the three-dimensional real world using Hololens.<\/p>\n

For those who only vaguely remember or don't know the game at all: In the game \"Lemmings\", released in 1991, you led your army, consisting of rather stubborn lemmings, through an underground realm full of obstacles and dangers. The mechanism was kept simple: The green-haired lemmings would stubbornly run straight ahead if you didn't intervene. So you had to give some of them vital tasks - such as digging trenches or building bridges - to save the little earth people from certain death.<\/p>\n

Although the new AR app is not a fully-fledged game and only a feasibility study by the studio, it shows that the Lemmings are particularly suitable for an AR realisation: With the help of the technology, your own living spaces become a playground and objects such as sofas, tables and cupboards become constantly changing components of the level building.<\/p>\n
