The App Gun is a clever innovation that brings iPhone shooting games to life. Using augmented reality technology, the App Gun enables players to use their iPhone to blast away on-screen aliens in their real-life environment.
The toy-like shooter has a mount for your iPhone at the end of the barrel. Pulling the trigger releases a rubber stamp that presses the touchscreen for you, destroying those bad guys. While the App Gun concept is still new, we hope to see more AR shooting games like it.
