Emily's Musings: Virtual Arm Wrestling

December 16, 2004

Virtual Arm Wrestling

Gizmag Emerging Technology Magazine has an posting called Haptic Arm Wrestling hits the net. The virtual arm wrestling is featured in the new NetPl@net exhibit at The Tech.

The article says:

December 14, 2004 An internet facilitated "haptic" arm-wrestling machine devised to teach children "hands-on" applications of networking in the digital age is the hit of American museums and may spawn a new sports craze. The Haptic Arm Wrestling machine, currently on display at 6 science museums, including the New York Hall of Science in Queens, the Tech Museum in San Jose, and the Imaginarium in Alaska, allows contestants to arm wrestle remote human opponents over the internet while watching live video and audio feeds.

and also mentions that: "Participants at the Tech Museum can also wear and keep a RFID bracelet activation that allows them to enter their ID into the website, providing screenshots of them and their opponent while they were playing."

I was staffing the arm wrestling part of the exhibit yesterday morning and it is definitely popular. We had a very enthusiastic group who got very into the competition. We matched up a couple of times against people from a science museum in Iowa, but they kept cheating and had entire groups of people trying to wrestle at the same time against one kid on our side (because we were trying NOT to cheat - and not to break the machine). It's definitely fun though -- and if you're down near The Tech stop by and see the new stuff!
