Cats with Nintendogs + Augmented Reality

Virtual pets Another step towards the evolution of virtual reality in this case passes through the digital puppies new chapter in Nintendo's Nintendogs + Cats specifically developed to exploit the capabilities of 3DS. In a similar way to what happens with the EyePet PSP, the game uses the camera in 3DS synchronous with the use of special AR Cards to "project" in reality the puppies directly surrounding the console screen.

In practice it is another approach to Augmented Reality "on the screen shows the environment taken with the camera of the 3DS, whereas at where I placed the AR cards appear (on the screen, of course) so that the puppies will look populate the world around the player.
