Title:
- Robot rockstars: a mixed-reality game
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Abstract:
The mixed-reality game Robot RockStars combines a massively-interactive videogame controlled by multiple WiiGuitar players with a herd of Pleo and AIBO wireless robots as back-up singers, which can both react and affect gameplay. Attendees can affect gameplay by interacting with the robots or with mobile wireless devices. The main innovation lies in this project with the novelty of creating open-source, mixed-reality, plug-n-play tools that we build and the challenge for applications, such as the mixed-reality game Robot RockStars, to be constructed with them, allowing technology to go beyond what is currently possible for massively interactive collaboration between people and agents.
