zGhost Now Available for iPhone!

We are excited to announce our new game division, zgames, has released their first iPhone app, zGhost!

zGhost is an augmented reality application that combines 3D graphics over live video that lets you see ghosts and take pictures of them using the live camera preview of your phone. The camera is actually sensitive enough to pick up the low-glow of ectoplasm radiated by ghosts. It works similarly to the nightvision setting of your video camera. See what's around you right now, that you can't see with your own eyes!

Now available for iPhone 3GS and coming very soon to Android. zGhost v1.0 can be downloaded for $0.99 on the App Store here.

Become a zGames Facebook fan and upload your favorite zGhost photos. We look forward to hearing from you!
