Abstract

The multi-user game LinX3d is being played at a console. The players are surveilled by a camera. They appear in real time as „ASCII-Faces“ in the game’s virtual environment. The online participants use conventional computer terminals for playing and are represented in the game as “ASCII logfiles”. Every user can explore the different levels of the 3D game with others or by him- or herself. Linx3D deals with the hyperrealism of commercial games and virtual techniques of surveillance.
