HADO is a new AR sports sensation that consists of equipping two wearable devices, a head mount display and an armband sensor, while seeing virtual objects integrated into real space. Players fire energy balls and activate shields to dodge opponents’ attacks all with their own hands while trying to score the most points within an allotted time frame.
