Google collaborated with TAITO, the creator of the classic game SPACE INVADERS, and Unit9 to use augmented reality (AR) to turn the Earth into a playground in commemoration of the game's 45th anniversary.

Players from all around the world are invited to go outside and defend the Earth in the mobile game SPACE INVADERS: World Defense, which is available on Android and iOS. Buildings and roofs can spawn Space Invaders, who hide behind them and hover in the air. Players from all over the world must cooperate to save the planet through worldwide immersive gameplay.

Players look around their neighborhoods to find fresh Space Invaders and destroy them to gain points. They can get unique power-ups, compete with friends for the highest score nearby, and share their accomplishments on social media with an augmented reality selfie.

The game uses Google's ARCore and Geospatial API to construct entertaining stages in the real world with AR and on the screen solely using 3D. It also makes use of the player's immediate surroundings as well as neighboring buildings, landscapes, and other architectural components. The realistic gameplay adjusts to the player's actual environment, including time, place, and weather conditions.

The physical and digital worlds are coming together through augmented reality (AR), changing how people play, learn, and engage with material. Brands and content producers can utilize augmented reality (AR) to make their material more approachable and give users a completely new perspective on the world. Google has unveiled Geospatial Creator, a platform that enables developers, designers, and animators to quickly create and distribute realistic location-based augmented reality (AR) experiences using Unity and Adobe Aero without the need for coding.

Want to protect the planet? Join the ranks of an elite Earth defence army today by downloading the game for Android or iOS, then compete in your neighborhood for the greatest score. Additionally, you can discover more about SPACE INVADERS and the game's 45-year development.
