Sudoku is quite simply one of the most popular puzzle games ever invented, which is why Silicon Valley-based startup Hatchlings has gone ahead and created a Sudoku app to help people solve some of the more difficult puzzles on offer.
Aptly dubbed Magic Sudoku, this augmented reality app works on the iOS platform, and takes advantage of Apple's proprietary ARKit technology in order to figure out Sudoku puzzle answers. All the user has to do is point their camera towards the Sudoku grid, and watch in awe as their smartphone automatically fills in the empty squares on the puzzle.
In addition to wowing Sudoku veterans and newbies alike, the Magic Sudoku app also does a great job demonstrating the ability of algorithmic technologies to carry out logical problem-solving tasks using augmented reality platforms.
