Free Discovery Apps coming to PS Vita

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has announced three new Discovery Apps for the PS Vita. The new titles are Travel Bug, Ecolibrium and Imaginstruments, and they will be available for free download from the PlayStation Store in the coming months.

In Travel Bug, players create and personalise their very own bug which is given a travel-based mission to complete. Your bug can take “travel snaps” on its journey and you can track its whereabouts on an interactive map. This application also invites you to compete against friends to reach destinations first – all tracked via the “near” application.

Take on a divine role in Ecolibrium, an imaginative eco-system simulator where the aim is to maintain harmony within your own created environment. If the environment becomes unbalanced, species in your eco-system must be fed manually until you have restored balance and created the optimum environment for your animals and plants. Users can collect different species and trade them with other PS Vita users using “near”.

Imaginstruments is an ‘imaginary instrument’ application designed from the ground up around the PS Vita inputs. Players can play drums, guitar, theremin, and the violin. Once each imaginstrument has been mastered players can record their tracks and share with other players.

3G enabled PS Vita owners can also look forward to the anticipated release of t@g, a graffiti-based app that combines creative expression, location-based gaming, AR and urban art discovery. With t@g, users can create graffiti t@gs to share and compete with other t@ggers, plus use the PS Vita’s 3G and GPS capabilities to discover t@gs wherever they are.
