現実の世界でパックマンをやろうという試みです。

Q8: Where can the game be carried out?

A: The game can be carried out in large unsheltered areas with wireless LAN access. In our prototype system, we have also built an indoor version of the game. Players move around in custom built maze measuring 2.4 x 2.4 m. The mobile players are tracked using infrared technology and video tracking.

Q9: What is the maximum number of players?

A: In our lab prototype, we have built 4 wearable computers, making it possible for up to 8 players (4 mobile, 4 Helpers) to join in the game at the same time. The system is designed to be expandable to accommodate more players.

無線LANさえ通れば、屋外でも実施できるようです。実験では2.4x2.4mの室内フィールドで8人が同時参加したそうです(4人がウェアラブル・コンピュータを身につけ、4人がサポートです)。さらに、もっと人数が増やせるよう設計されているそうです。
