About NerdHerder
Herd nerds through a distracting office space!
Help them avoid managers, deal with annoying paperwork, overcome their fear of sports, and chase down donuts, coffee and techie toys!
NerdHerder is an exciting new kind of motion-controlled table-top augmented reality puzzle game.
- Print out the game board from http://micronerd.net/print to get started.
- Point your phone at the gameboard and see a different office environment for each level of the game, right there in the world!
- Play the game using a virtual fishing rod attached to your phone, that you can use to pick up and dangle objects in front of the nerds to push or pull them through the office.
- Exercise your planning and action skills to herd the nerds back to their cubicles!
Game Features
- Tabletop Augmented Reality game interface: The game levels appear to be in the world on the game board.
- Physical control: Interact by moving the phone around the board
- A combination of puzzle solving and physical skill
- 24 fun and challenging levels
- Built with Unity3D and Qualcomm's Vuforia Augmented Reality SDK
NerdHerder runs on recent high-end Android devices with fast CPUs and GPUs.
Nerdherder is an experimental game, created by students in the Augmented Reality Game Studio at Georgia Tech (made possible through the generous support of Qualcomm). This collaborative studio brings together students from the Georgia Institute of Technology, the Savannah College of Art and Design (Atlanta campus) and the Berklee College of Music.
Nerdherder grew out of our research into augmented reality game experiences, during which we created many different game prototypes (visit http://argamestudio.org to see videos of the other prototypes)
Please visit our website (http://www.micronerd.net/feedback) to tell us what you loved or hated about the game! As part of our research, we would also like to collect more detailed gameplay data. Inside the game, you will be given the option of sending us completely anonymous game play data. If you are willing, we'd also be delighted if you would fill out a survey at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/nerdherder
We hope you enjoy the game!

Game won't even load. Reinstalled. Still nothing. My guess is from name of developer they graduated from GA Tech and don't care now the project is done.

"High End GPU devices" is too vague of a description for requirements. Please put a definitive list of compatible devices. It was flagged compatible with my Galaxy S4 but apparently it is not.

At first I was so in love with this game, the transition graphics were other worldly! It was so fun and unique it was just amazing...till...it just stopped working I barley got to play a couple lvls and was about to get serious but it just wouldn't open kept giving me an erorr...I re-installed and even re-fromatted my phone twice just to try and get it working...so so Crestfallen now! Fix it before hate fills me with rage!

A nice casual game. This is a fun game to play and the content is very lighthearted, though I would replace the doughnut with an iPhone or a Facebook page to make the office worker productivity problem more realistic. My Droid X (Android 2.3.3) is very slow so the AR quality of game play is nearly impossible at real time speeds. Thumbs up to SCAD, Berklee and Unity. GA Tech you need to work on that overhead.

A little slow on my 1-core 1GHz, but still fun to play. The AR is a neat effect (print-out gameboard works for B&W as well as color). Love the sounds.
