Maker Faire Bay Area 2008
HatManDo Offline Multiplayer Games

Location:   Expo Red   

In the HatManDo ("Hat-Man-Due") series of interactive games, multiple players -- say two to four teams of four -- play by walking around in close proximity in a medium-sized room area, while being tracked by an overhead camera. Before entering the play area, kids may have their photo taken, or they may draw a small image, either of which is used as their on-screen player icon.
