In what is one of the coolest things to come out of Singapore since caning, researchers at the Singapore National University are developing a “real life” version of Pac-Man incorporating GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, and augmented reality. 3D graphics are superimposed on real-life sidewalks and such so that you actually feel like you’re playing Pac-Man. There are still a few kinks to be worked out, such as a system to keep you from walking off the side of a cliff, but I bet those PacManhattan guys are already negotiating a partnership.
