Enhancing the Entertainment Value of Old Maid Card Game with AR Technology

Non-digital games provide the tactile and spatial interaction of moving objects in real space, an aspect absent in digital games. This study considers card games as interactive media and introduces an “AR card game” using an optical see-through HMD. The proposed “AR Card Game” leverages AR to enhance digital information within the actual card game, preserving its inherent interactivity, and augmenting the entertainment value by controlling player information. This paper outlines the development of a card game incorporating AR-based functionality into the game "Old Maid".
