Next up for gaming: playing robots.
Just saw this short clip of this cyclops robot made by Dutch designer Ivo Vos (sweet name) showing a robot with an integrated webcam that will Pong you to oblivion. Made me ask, could this be part of the future of video games? Imagine going to an arcade and seeing one of these!

Which brings up a good question: how would this work in an ethics tournament? If the robot were set at some ridiculously high AI, most folks wouldn't even stand a chance. In the case of this little guy here, the first thing I imagine you'd see is either a covered up camera, or worse, ripped off appendages. Rather, the gameplay would have to include the robot in some way so that the player didn't feel like they were getting completely cheesed over.
Ah yes, but didn't somebody already try this?
