This “hybrid playground” is just the thing for folks who like playing video games AND hanging out in the park. Here, the real world is linked up with virtual elements. The artists of lalalab equip a tiny electronic device with network-linked sensors. On a monitor, players are given assignments that they have to carry out on the various pieces of equipment on the “real” playground. Armbands worn by the players send data to a server which computes and displays the score.
