MekaMon is a real-life robot battler. Players use a mobile app on their iOS or Android devices to control a physical machine that looks something like a tiny Protoss Dragoon from Starcraft. An augmented reality mode in the app also creates a virtual world for the robot to inhabit. Developer Reach Robotics is launching it on November 16 for $300.
Cofounder and CEO Silas Adekunle says Reach is a culmination of his many interests, including a childhood love for wildlife, an interest in electronics, and many hours spent playing massively multiplayer online games. The latter in particular informed the decision to add an AR element to MekaMon.
