Well, are they? Us mere mortals couldn’t answer such a thing but Mike Rugnetta from PBS’ Idea Channel can certainly take a stab at it.
What with the fact that most of our lives are spent starring into our touchscreen devices, is it affecting how we experience “reality”?
It’s impossible to tell if this level was completed with a pad or as a tool assisted run. Either way it’s still pretty damn impressive.
If you really want a challenge though, try it in 2 player mode operating the second control pad with your feet. No guts, no glory!
Welcome to the world’s first Augmented Reality TARDIS. ARTARDIS for short (ish). Made as a hobby project by an avid fan.

All that stands between you and an epic fantasy quest is a few scratch and sniff game cards and a premium rate £5 per minute phone number.
Would you be able to find the dragon rose and cure your affliction or would the prospective phonebill and your dad’s toots prove too much?
Instead of going for the sprites from the classic Nes game, this italian plumber enthusiast has opted for the more complex Super Nintendo versions.
Painstakingly remaking them out of beads and animating them on walls, wellington boots and even the side of a moving vehicle. Sterling work.
