MekaMon, the world's first gaming robot. Blends the virtual and real worlds with augmented reality battles and head to head combat.
This little battle-bot tries to bridge the gap between Augmented reality and reality
The Mekamon fighting robot is a fighting-bot for the 21st century. Gone is the need for fighting robots to actually hit each other – now they can attack each other in augmented reality. It also means you can play with a single fighting robot, fighting off a hoard of digital assailants.
The robot itself is brilliantly designed, and the app you use to control the Mekamon is clearly well thought-out, with comic book-style sections that explain the (slightly Independence Day Resurgence-like) mythology around the Mekamon bots which is very satisfying.
Mekamon is available now, directly from Mekamon and from Apple, and costs $299.95 (£299.95, around AU$535).
If you’ve never heard of Reach Robotics, the company behind the Mekamon, it’s for a good reason – this is its first creation. As part of Apple’s move into AR it’s really pushing the Mekamon robot, featuring it in the official Apple Store, which has undoubtedly given the little fighting bot a bigger audience than it would otherwise have had.
There are two ways to play with the Mekamon robots: in a virtual world with the AR app, and battling one-on-one with another Mekamon. In our experience, the real-life battles are the far more enjoyable of the options, but both are let down by a less-than-perfect AR interface.
