VirtualUK writes "The BBC News website is running a story about a team of engineers headed by Andrew David Cheok over at the Mixed Reality Lab, University of Singapore. They've developed a Human Pacman game which is played out on the streets of Singapore. The screenshots of what the players see is pretty interesting with users of both the mixed reality version and the virtual reality version being able to interact. The system comprises of a bunch of wearable computers that use GPS and wireless network connections to relay information regarding position. People in the US can see it showcased at the Wired NextFest in Chicago, June 24-26."

Dupe: Pacmanhattan! by pjcreath · 2005-06-06 06:26 · Score: 2, Insightful

All you young whippersnappers with your "dupe" stories from 2003 and 2004. Back in my day, we had real dupes. From 2001, when Pacman was being played on the streets of New York.

But seriously, check out the videos (Coral Cache link). They're priceless. (Edit: The videos seem to be offline -- does anybody have an archive?)
