Launch a game on a smartphone to play merrily away but come across a pre-defined "target" of any kind--a landmark, some Skittles, or even a ticket to a ball game--to bring the game into a new dimension.

This basketball demo game uses Qualcomm's augmented reality toolkit to create a game that comes to life when the camera "sees" (or senses that it's near) the paper ticket. You can peer through the static gaming elements to see the real-world table top and another sheet of paper on the smartphone screen.
