Nintendo files color-based AR patent

More 3DS Augmented Reality games could be in the future, if a new patent is any indication.

The Nintendo-filed patent is a concept in which colors influence the game world.

It mentions a few examples as summarized by NintendoLife:

“For instance: your character stands on a red cube, with a huge gap before the next gap. Grab a red background — paper, clothing etc. — and line it up between the cube to create a bridge for the happy chap to wander over.

“Another example features a fiery pit. No problem — point your 3DS cameras over a blue surface and it’ll create rain to extinguish the flames.”

The question is, will we see this patent materialize into an actual product? Or is this just another protective filing?
