On an website kids learn about morse code through games and interaction with other kids. Every single MCC has a face resembling a morse code letter. They're are solar powered so when they run out of power you put them in the sun until the are recharged.

Back to topEyeswitcher
What happens if we suddenly see the world through somebody elses eyes. Do we adapt or do we lose control?
Eyeswitcher is a game developed for Danfoss Universe by Louise Springborg and Nils Koster.
With Eyeswitcher you switch eyesight with another person using camera helmets. You both have to navigate on a platform 4x3 meters wide all while trying to avoid and kill a virtual worm squirming around on the platform who's trying to eat you.
Each helmet has a PDA Screen mounted inside receiving a feed from a camera on the other helmet and an infrared diode on top registers your position on the platform.
