Human Pacman with Bluetooth and GPS
CNN reports on a Human Pacman game, developed by Singapore based researchers, that can be played out in the streets or any real environment. The system was designed by the Mixed Reality Lab at the National University of Singapore. It includes Bluetooth, GPS, head-mounted displays and inertia sensors. Pacman can pic up power pills (in the form of Bluetooth enabled boxes in the environment used in the game) in his attempt to avoid pursuers.
