Itâs one thing for a video game to be called immersive when youâre staring at a single screen in one direction. But when youâre sitting in a room surrounded by power pellets and aggressive ghosts of Ms. Pac-Man, you feel like youâre living inside a game of the arcade classic.
Shot at this past weekendâs Babycastles Summit, the video above shows how a crazy design idea by Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi & Dr. Clement Shimizu of the Elumenati came to life at New Yorkâs Museum of Art & Design. This 3D Ms. Pac-Man blurs the lines between digital and physical play, just like other projects that were part of an exhibition of Takahashiâs work at MoAD. Weâll be bringing you video of the other real-world video game tweaks later this week.
