I think it would be epic to play a game where you make the boss fights. That includes the environment ( something in your house or somewhere YOU don't like SCHOOL, COLLEGE, JOB ) and the Boss would be somebody you dislike eg. BOSS-PROFESSOR-MOTHER-IN-LAW, EX-WIFE etc. You could record the phrases you hate most to be used in the game. eg your boss saying something like, " we need more productivity!" Ex wife, " I need more child support! " You would obviously have to be stealthy getting their pics and phrases. I call the game......wait for it....wait for it..... REDEMPTION!!!!
Anybody familiar with doodle god? how about an AR game with various cards, where you can make various items/creatures and then use them to help a protagonist fighting some horrible beast/wizard/thing that are fighting right on your table top? it would be turn based (to give the player time to figure out what they might want to make, albeit with a timer - don't want to give the player to much time to think of a winning strategy), players could use created items/creatures against eachother in multiplayer (maybe upto four players?), and it would not have that ridiculous kiddie look - an art style more geared to teenagers/young adults, and its called Camalus' Challenge.
OR
Angry Birds AR?
AR boss fight. You fight a giant monster destroying the city. The monster could be full sized and there could be virtual people running for their lives! Maybe there could be smaller monsters and a story, but it would be really cool if you could see a giant monster destroying wherever you are through the vita. The downside to this idea is that you would be swinging your psvita around like an idiot.
An AR card game. Something like magic the gathering. Maybe where you can throw down some of those AR cards and monsters or spells or whatever the game revolves around would appear on the table in front of you along with whatever your opponent puts down. Then you can duke it out card game style and have a little monster mayhem going on right around you.
I would love to see an AR yugioh game. That would be great to have cards just floating there on a table. Then having AR attacks.
It also would work very easy. Just throw out the defaut ps vita cards to make the field then the game does the rest.
Same thing with pokemon. Finally you would be able to see your pokemon go over there and acttack the other player.
Then AR pets would be nice. Eyepet was a cool game, and since the screen is touched you can pet your pet and talk to him.her with the mic.
Alot out of great things can come from augment reality gaming.
Eye of Judgement was an awesome concept for an AR card game but I would like to see what could be done with figurines instead of cards. Spyro Skylanders seems to be pretty popular so It would be cool to see that concept expanded upon by being able to actually use the figures outside of the game. Maybe have the vita set up an actual battlefield on the table and then use the figures to play a turn based game. The AR could even add attack effects for your figures when you are attacking another player's figure.
It annoys me when he says 512 megabytes of ram is a lot...LOL
I would use the AR in conjunction with Dungeons and Dragons Pen and Paper game.
It would allow people to design their character then have everyone see them on the board through their vita. Adjust armor and weapons, all of the normal game appearance stuff one associates with a video game.
The DM could set up the board on the table ahead of time, establish what card is what creature (or this can be in conjunction with wizards of the coast, and have them sell creature cards) when the DM activates that card through his Vita, everyone sees the creature on the board through their Vitas. People could activiate their abilities on the Vita and see them play out, while still having the actual gameplay/Maliability of a Pen and Paper game.
It's not an amazing concept but it would be fun.
I would like to see a mini platformer of some kind using WAAR and some elements of the game not using AR cards at all.

I second this. It makes perfect sense, it doesn't have to be Yugioh but the idea is legit.
I'd also like to play a tactical, grid based war simulator on my desk at home. Factions could range from midieval combat (catapults, cavalry, and brute force) to modern day miltary (Precision, ammunition, and tacticians). Of course it doesnt have to be a perfect sim, each side will hold unique advantages and disadvantages to respective Units. < more on this later when i find the time to think of better ideas, hopefully.
My submission
A Covert Sniper AR style Game
Your open up with the camera view, but you may switch to your scope to take your shots.
Your objective to to scan the plains area around with the camera(moving your Vita around your position) you till you find a hostile target. Once spotted you will have to take aim and neutralize him before he takes the shot at you.
There can be a career mode in which it saves stats and your profits from eliminating targets by rewarding credits to buy better Sniper rifles, scopes, and ammo.
There would we other types of game modes, would be...
Make it Last - A game mode where you only have 3 (or a limited amount of bullets), and the only way to get more is to make kill kill shots to gain one additional bullet for each kill made
Rush Hour - You are allowed a certain amount of time to take out as many hostiles as you can.
Last Breath - Game mode in which you keep playing till you get shot, cause if you get shot once it is over.
In this first picture this is how the game play screen looks like when active and out of scope. The health meter is placed at the top left of the screen, while the point counter is on the right top side. The game will find a placement for hostile forces (example is that dark outlined figure).
Then when you locate the area of the enemy by moving the Vita in the direction of the enemy, you may then enter the scope mode. The focus is now into the scope of the rifle,with also two new displays appearing. The one to the bottom left is the steady meter, when activated the camera will not move as much giving the player a more precise shot. The display to the right shows your ammo stock and how much you have left to reload is necessary.
I Hope you enjoyed my concept of a AR game.
The game could be a rpg in which you control a little character and try reach the end of the level with in a certain time it could also have enemies with weapons such as swords then guns and finally tanks. You will be able to create your character and select a weapon. A add-on could include a extra enemies and new weapons to weild in the game. There should also be a sniper form where you get a top view to kill the enemy.
how about a AR mystery game. like for instance you find clues or find items around the world that only your ps vita can see. to solve some mystery.
they can be randomly generated and you get rewords for completing them. you can even get ranks. the ranks can be related to old mystery books even.
