Ever dream of being Pacman?

Post by Jeeba Jabba »

Or what about one of the ghosts?
A human version of the classic arcade game Pacman, superimposing the virtual 3D game world on to city streets and buildings, is being developed by researchers at Singapore.

Players equipped with a wearable computer, headset and goggles can physically enter a real world game space by choosing to play the role of Pacman or one of the Ghosts.

Ummm... Big difference using computers and GPS systems to create virtual objects integrated with real surroundings than people dressing up like Pacman and running around a city.

They used cellphones to keep track of progress and mapped it out on a computer in quazi-realtime. They just didn't have the visual aid.
