Description

NerdHerder is a new kind of motion-controlled table-top augmented reality puzzle game. Unlike other handheld augmented reality games, Nerdherder's physical motion controls make the phone and the player an integral part of the playspace. Use a fishing line dangling from your phone to herd nerds through a distracting office space! Help them avoid managers, deal with annoying paperwork, overcome their fear of sports, and chase down donuts, coffee and techie toys!

Nerdherder is an experimental game, created by students in the Augmented Reality Game Studio at Georgia Tech (made possible through the generous support of Qualcomm). This collaborative studio brings together students from the Georgia Institute of Technology, the Savannah College of Art and Design (Atlanta campus) and the Berklee College of Music.
