I’ve always quite liked air hockey, in spite of being quite bad at it. One of the other teams in the lab I work in has built an air hockey game which works with two players at a distance. Each person gets half a table, a projection screen and so on. While I’m sure there’s a lot more to the research behind it, than just ‘wow, it would be cool to play air hockey over a network’, it really does sound cool. I haven’t actually played with it, but really should con someone into giving me a demo sometime.

Anyway, congrats to Floyd (as well as Shannon in the screen in the photo, and the rest of their team) on the write up they got in the Sydney Morning Herald.
