A AR memory game
Our application is a ready-to-play memory game for all ages but our main target audience is children between 6-12-year-olds. Like its physical counterpart, our memory game increases short term memory, enhances the visual distinction of objects, improves creativity and is a good brain exercise. We also offer the possibility to add text to the memory cards in order to make this game viable for educational purposes, e.g. learning a new language through connecting a word with an object/picture.
