It was revealed at D23 Expo this past weekend that a Star Wars AR experience will be coming soon. Users will be able to immerse themselves in vast battles, play holo-chess, or train as a Jedi. The latter game, called Jedi Challenges, will feature a lightsaber hilt as a controller as well as AR glasses that work with a compatible mobile device. As we posted almost 2 months ago, ILMxLAB is working on a full blown, high grade AR program for Star Wars, that is still a long way off. In the short-term, Disney wanted to bring a consumer friendly AR version to market. So far, there is no information on cost or a date for release, but according to the teaser, it seems likely this is a Best Buy exclusive, or at least Best Buy will have some kind of exclusive experience when it is released.
