Some games on this list use AR as a passing feature, while others incorporate it as a core part of the gameplay.
AR games do not include Kinect or EyeToy games. Certain gaming devices, such as the
EyeToy,
PlayStation Eye,
Kinect,
Nintendo 3DS,
PlayStation Portable,
PlayStation Vita,
Nintendo Switch, and some mobile devices use cameras to augment computer graphics onto live footage, but they are not augmented reality devices as the view is not
first-person. The majority of AR software uses special cards which are read by the device to pinpoint where the graphics will form.
