Me and 4 classmates decided to try something we had never done before. We made the worlds first Online First Person Shooter in a Physical space. To make that possible we bought RC Battle tanks from Teknikmagasinet, used Arduino to break the controllers apart and connect them to the internet, where we built a platform where you, with your mobile phone could control the tanks. We then placed mobile phones on the tanks so you could see where you were going in a first person point of view. Next step was to design and build the playground using cardboard. In the end of the project, we launched a Live event for 1-2 hours where players all around the world could queue up and battle with our tanks, in our physical world, online vs someone else they didnt know. After a little marketing we managed to be fronted on the first page of feber.se, Swedens biggest tech-homepage.
