Minecraft The World With The Minecraft Reality App

This app from 13th Lab lets you overlay, and geotag, your Minecraft creations onto the real world.

Ever thought the world wasn’t Minecraft-y enough? Say you’ve been playing the game for two weeks straight and you decide to stop for a break, you go outside and your mind goes into some kind of shock because the world’s just too high-def for you. You need to ease your eyes in gently with something more pixelated.

Well, if this problem is affecting you then maybe this app is the remedy you’ve been looking for. Called Minecraft Reality it uses AR to allow you to mix up the real world with the world of Minecraft, overlaying your creations onto the mundanity that is daily life.

So you can drop your pixel piece into the world, augmenting reality in the process while blurring that digital/physical divide. Your pieces can also be saved at specific locations so other people can come along with the app and enjoy that giant phallus you’ve kindly left for them.
