5 Player 3D Pacman By Dr. Clement Shimizu and Keita Takahashi

For Keita Takahashi’s Zooming Out exhibition at Telfair museum, Dr. Clement Shimizu was invited to develop a new iteration of 3D-Pacman. Keita Takahashi requested a 5 player pacman slightly tweaked rules. Because of the immersive nature of the space, the installation called for 5x wireless arcade joysticks color coded to Inky, Blinky, Pinky, Clyde, and Pacman. It was also important that the joysticks stay paired so the color codes would stay paired and consistently color coded.

I ended up building my own 2.4 GHz wireless joystick system that would keep all consistent and reliable without having to deal with bluetooth pairing which can be problematic in a museum environment. My friend Trevor McDonald helped with 3D printing the enclosures.
