Sumario:The article reports on the development of a new version of a pioneering arcade game called "The Human Pacman." Researchers from the Mixed Reality Laboratory at the University of Singapore developed it. BBC News reports the augmented reality game allows users to play in a digitally enhanced maze-like version of the real world. Equipped with a wearable computer, headset, and goggles, players physically enter a real-world game space by choosing to play the role of Pacman or one of the ghosts. The researchers expect it will be years before the technology is truly affordable to the average gamer.
