Paranormal Activity: Ghost Busters-style Augmented Reality Game

Augmented reality games company Total Immersion is showing off a new attraction that family entertainment centers, malls, and theme parks can install: an interactive haunted house. Titled Paranormal Activity (it doesn't seem to have any relation to the film of the same name), the attraction arms users with Ghost Busters-style equipment and sets them loose to blast evil spirits.

"Before entering in the attraction, guests are equipped with a backpack and a video gun (with an infrared camera, one LCD display and a trigger)," explains Total Immersion. "Guests have to use the video gun to progress inside the horror house and find ghosts. As soon as the ghost is found, guests have to shoot it to collect point and succeed their mission."

Imagine how creepy the haunted houses would be with characters/monsters like these!
