Abstract

LegionARius is a real-time strategy game using Augmented Reality (AR) to let players experience Roman and Germanic history in their own home. Being rooted in the tradition of Serious Games (SG), LegionARius aims at providing historically accurate knowledge about ancient everyday life in an entertaining manner. The players have to decide the destiny of a Roman cohort or a Germanic tribe living alongside the fortifications of Limes during the second century AD. As Roman commander or chief of a Germanic tribe they build, produce, trade and use their environment to choose a path between peaceful coexistence and war. With the help of AR the player can view and inspect the historically accurate 3D models of Roman or Germanic buildings. In addition, the player gets to know the historical context and background in a playful way. This knowledge is not only expanded in the course of the game, but is also a key element for success.
