As part of COMP 4060, our students just finished implementing a Mixed Reality Pac Man application using the mixed reality platform we have developed.
The robots are 2" infrared toy tanks, running on a 40" lcd and controlling the action of the game characters in the virtual world of Pac Man. Vision is provided by Ergo. Video of this and other mixed-reality applications are in the Comp 4060 video directory, a paper on this approach is in the publications section for 2007, and previous papers describe Ergo. Ergo is also downloadable from this website.
While at RoboCup in Bremen, we were contacted by CTV's Canada AM to put in an appearance on the show. They hade a hard time arranging studio space in Bremen, because the World Cup and RoboCup events were taking up much of the local media pool. After a few days bouncing emails and phone calls back and forth, we managed to negotiate a time between events to go to a local studio to appear live. When we got there, they only had room for one person at the desk-in-front-of-the-blue screen, and Shane was elected. Pictures and some video of the event are here.
The original broadcast is viewable on the CTV streaming video server.
