The Story
Playing baseball as a kid inspired the creation of Balls & Bombs AR, which is essentially playing catch but with your phone as a glove. Using ARKit, I developed an app which has baseballs thrown at you in different velocities and angles. Your phone acts as a plane which you have to move in space to “catch” the balls. The twist is that sometimes, bombs are thrown instead and you have to dodge them or shoot them down. I had a blast developing this game and ended up selling it to ex-NFL and USC Football Player, Steve Smith.
