Hasbro's augmented reality 'Twister' lets you play by yourself
You know about Twister. The famous party game asks 2-3 players to balance their limbs on a series of colored dots, dictated by an increasingly absurd set of instructions. Right hand red. Left foot green. Repeat until multiple people fall on the floor in presumed hilarity. Now,is changing the game: Twister Air is a music-focused, augmented reality alternative to the game that has no floor mat and less risk of falling down that you can play by yourself.
Specifically, Twister Air is a standing version of the classic game that uses a phone or tablet's camera to track player movements, tasking them to match colored Twisters Air ankle and wrist bands with colored dots on the device's screen. The game comes with 8 colored bands, but users will have to download a free iOS or Android app to play it.
At a glance, the game looks a little more like Dance Central than the original Twister. Players do rack up points by striking and holding weird poses, but they do so while listening to one of 16 included music tracks, including a new original song called"Twist in the air.
