These kind of puzzle games dont have any of the FPS requirements that today&amp;#x27;s mobile phones cant handle. The beautiful scenes that Myst was well known for can easily be rendered on a 4 year old phone as well.&lt;p&gt;But most importantly, touch and gyroscope opens up degrees of freedom that was previously impossible to conceive. Imagine an AR like Myst.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>ChuckMcM</author><text>&amp;gt;  Imagine an AR like Myst.&lt;p&gt;I suggested to one of the Niantic developers (Ingress, Pokemon Go) that they could make interesting &amp;quot;historical fiction tours&amp;quot; that people would likely pay for. Basically have the customer travel around a city to important places and solve a &amp;quot;mystery&amp;quot; associated with some historical event. You could use some of the Ingress mechanics where you would &amp;quot;pick up&amp;quot; a clue at a location that was a playable video file. That would lead you to the next clue. You could &amp;quot;uncover&amp;quot; secret locations by locating yourself relative to landmarks and entering a sequence, etc.</text></comment>
