  • TaleBlazer—TaleBlazer is an augmented reality (AR) software platform developed by the MIT Scheller Teacher Education Program (STEP) lab. TaleBlazer allows users to play and make their own location-based mobile games. By situating games in the real world, AR games seek to engage people in experiences that combine real landscapes and other aspects of the physical environment with additional digital information supplied to them by smartphones.

    The editor is browser-based, with no local installation required. It uses a visual blocks-based scripting language – which makes it easy to create rich interactivity, while helping users avoid syntax errors. Users create accounts allowing them to save game files to the cloud, which can then be download directly to a player’s smartphone. TaleBlazer game designers have instant access to TaleBlazer games from any computer attached to the Internet.For Educators
