Bomb Defuse Simulator 2013: a Head-Tracking Tech Demo
New submitter Johnny G. Mills writes "During a gamejam (an event to quickly develop and build an interesting game), two members of Sassybot Studio used a projector, Microsoft Kinect, and two moving boxes to create a simulator for defusing a bomb. They used me as a test subject, and thought Slashdot would enjoy this convergence of tech and gaming. 'The wires generated in Bomb Defuse Simulator 2013 are created procedurally to provide the player with a random challenge each time the game is played. ... The controls in the game are split up into physical input and Xbox controller input. With physical input the player moves around the bomb to see what is happening. This is literally done by walking around the real environment ... In our case we projected onto cardboard boxes to prove the concept. In theory this concept can be applied to larger and more unconventional objects. Doing so will challenge the game designer with utilizing the real space in order to create a game in virtual space.'"
til he get arrested for teaching xbox players how to defuse a bomb. I mean that HAS to be worse than teaching someone how to beat a polygraph right??
have you seen my sig? there are many others like it but none that are the same
(sorry)
polygraph != truth vs lie, just to be clear, having said that wooooosh

That is soooo yesterday and might get you shot if you carry it around! http://hackaday.com/2008/09/19/boston-led-sweatshirt-arrestee-interviewed/
Modern bombs use wireless tech and there is nothing to cut! Instead you have to figure out how to exactly fold and insert a piece of tin-foil.
Most ACs are not even worth the keystrokes to insult them. Be generically insulted by this and ignored otherwise.
shoot the hostage, duh.
No, because not all wires are functional. Some of tem are 'sabotage' wires which make the bomb explode instantly if cut. At least that's how alarm systems work, only instead of cutting the correct wire out of 5, you have to guess the correct 5 out of 40.
