(Source: Peter Deipenmaat) "For his master thesis project in 2006, Pieter [Diepenmaat] developed the ‘neXus’; the worlds first dedicated location based gaming device concept at HP–Lab’s ‘Mobile and Media Systems Lab’. The neXus duo-device consists of a hand controller and a pair of headphones and is used by players to play physical mixed reality games. By using 3D audio, tactile feedback and playful gestural interaction the neXus allows a running player to navigate and manipulate both the physical and virtual part of the game world at the same time. In doing so it merges these two halves into one world and provides the player with a truly mixed reality experience. HP-Labs is currently prototyping this near future concept for further technical and user experience research." Learn more at www.pieterdiepenmaat.nl/nexus.
