Magic Leap’s Luna Moondust Garden points to an augmented future
Luna Moondust Garden, a simple point-and-click narrative in which one creates a garden, made of different elements, is already available on virtual reality platforms as Luna, but in AR it’s a very different proposition. Magic Leap allows me to see my surroundings while I play.
Luna Moondust Garden is a nice, little piece of entertainment, but its role is to encourage other creatives to play it, and to decide that AR needs something different.
It’s a modular piece of fun, which feels like the basic genesis of something much bigger and better, maybe three years in the future.
“We’re doing something that’s important for games as a whole,” Hunicke says. “Maybe we can design something that’s better, that’s more human.”
