"SPACE INVADERS: World Defense", an immersive augmented reality and 3D mobile game application that incorporates the Streetscape Geometry API*, a new feature from Google's ARCore and the latest Geospatial technology, on July 18, 2022, on Google Play and App Store.
Recognized by Guinness World Records in 2020 as the "Longest running video game series" and celebrating its 45th anniversary this year, "SPACE INVADERS" is now available as a completely new immersive AR game which turns your neighborhood into a real-world playground.
*Streetscape Geometry API:It is possible to acquire 3D model data of buildings within a 100m radius of the user's current location. This function allows AR objects to be hidden and visible (i.e. occlusion expression), to reflect on buildings in real space, and to attach AR objects to specific buildings, enabling the development of highly immersive AR content that blends into real space

Google’s ARCore Geospatial API for "immersive AR games"
SPACE INVADERS: World Defense is powered by the ARCore Geospatial API, with technology provided by Google. It instantly designs an engaging model on-screen that blends AR and 3D from the nearby environment, including buildings, bridges, and other architectural elements around the player.
