Keita Takahashi, a big-time gamer and professional game director of Katamari Damacy, has created an awesome interactive art installation called 3D Ms. Pac-Man. Takahashi displayed this sweet art piece in New York City at the Museum of Art & Design.
The display was made by a team of artists who work with Takahashi. The installation was set up in a more private space in the museum and it took up all the walls of the room, including the ceiling. Visitors to the museum could come and watch the awesome display, or even play it themselves. The game had an added challenge to it to, since when Ms. Pac-Man got up on the ceiling, the directions on the remote would switch up.
