Play Pac-Man with augmented reality glasses Hololens? Yes please!
Anyone who is "out" will only watch a group of dumb people running around, but whoever is equipped with Microsoft's Hololens augmented reality system will get lost in the fun of Pac-Man.Pac in Town is a variant of the classic produced by Bandai Namco designed to be played in augmented reality environment, or as it is now dubbed, "mixed reality." The game debuted in January at one of the company's theme parks in Japan and is now adapted to the Microsoft device.When players place the Hololens headset, the previously empty physical space becomes a virtual labyrinth formed by walls at 90 ° angles and filled with the balls to be collected. Three players will have to cooperate and eat as many points within the time limit as they run away from the ghosts to win.During his presentation at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, United States, Namco's creative director Hirofumi Motoyama said that the main challenge in adapting the game to Hololens is to overcome the limitation of the device's field of vision. This prevents players from anticipating enemy presence from a distance, and sound alarm systems have been introduced.In the year in which great advances in technology of augmented reality are announced, the big publishers are beginning to present some playful proposals to demonstrate the equipment.
