We have developed an outdoor augmented reality game, Sky Invaders 3D, which is designed to be played by the game playing public. We conducted a user study to measure how much users enjoyed playing an outdoor AR game, and how intuitive it was. We compared 44 participants on one of two games, an outdoor AR game, or a desktop PC equivalent of the same game. We found the AR game was rated by the participants as significantly more enjoyable by the users and more intuitive to use.
