A human version of the classic arcade game Pacman, superimposing the virtual 3D game world on to city streets and buildings, is being developed by researchers at Singapore.

Players equipped with a wearable computer, headset and goggles can physically enter a real world game space by choosing to play the role of Pacman or one of the Ghosts.

A central computer system keeps track of all their movements with the aid of GPS receivers and a wireless local area network.

Merging different technologies such as GPS, Bluetooth, virtual reality, wi-fi, infrared and sensing mechanisms, the augmented reality game allows gamers to play in a digitally-enhanced maze-like version of the real world.

I think Doom 3 would be better.

Could you imagine how horrifying that could be?
Imagine going into a dark room and a cyberdemon jumps out from behind.

Yeah, and apparently NVIDIA already is working with these guys, so that some future NVIDIA chip will be powering the 3D rendering, enabling life-like rendering of monsters (that you can either shoot at, or walk right through, of course).
