[Video] Augmented Reality Brings Terrifying ‘The Ring’ Scene to Life
This is not okay and we do not approve of this.
Though the moment has been spoofed and done to death in various sequels and spinoffs over the years, lessening its power to terrify, the scene where Sadako/Samara emerges from a television set in Ringu and then American remake The Ring is unquestionably one of the scariest in horror history. It’s one of those moments we’ll simply never forget.
Programmer Abhishek Singh has brought that scene to life in the real world, thanks to the wonders of augmented reality technology, for a video that’s going viral across the internet and reminding that Sadako/Samara is still scary after all these years.
The video was made with Unity, filmed through an iPad screen.
Capcom has kicked off their summer with a new Capcom Spotlight stream, which included a new five-minute “Game Overview” trailer for Onimusha: Way of the Sword. The trailer reveals a new foe that players will duel in the upcoming swordplay action game which launches on September 25 across PlayStation 5, the Xbox Series, the Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
The footage provides a first look at Dohatsu-ten, a terrifyingly fast and bloodthirsty Genma. After carving its way into the mortal realm, this winged warrior from the depths of hell locks blades with protagonist Miyamoto Musashi in an intense boss battle.
And in case you missed it, pre-orders for Onimusha: Way of the Sword are available now, and include the “Sealed Curse” sword skin and “Lion Dog” charm as bonuses. You can also check out the demo on all platforms (save for the Switch 2).
Onimusha: Way of the Sword returns to a dark fantasy feudal Japan where samurai clash with the supernatural in cutting-edge combat. The game takes place in Kyoto during the early Edo period. In this time of relative peace for Japan, Malice has befallen the ancient city. Twisted into an eerie and unsettling place, Kyoto has been infested by the demonic Genma.
