A Twist on Tele-robotics: Today at noon PST!


Boing Boing pal Ken Goldberg of UC Berkeley invites us back to play another round of Tele-Twister, the telepresence-based version of the classic party game. The mad professor says:

"Left foot red? Right hand green? In the newly redesigned Java-based variation of the classic '60s party game, users join forces with others online to direct the movements of live humans on the playing board. The game tests leadership ability as users try to influence group dynamics and out-strategize the opposing team. Players are ranked continuously using a new scoring metric (link to PDF paper) based on clustering and user response times. Live games run from 12-1pm Pacific Time on Fridays."
