The University of Mississippi is adding another level to its Rebel Rewards app: a location-based, augmented reality game. The game, which is the first of its kind to be available to a college campus, looks for AR football receivers to throw virtual passes to before he disappears to earn the user Rebel Rewards points.

The game — which the University is partnering with Total Communicator Solutions, Inc. to create — is only available in certain locations, both indoors and outdoors.
