Pacathon is an open innovation lab based on the popular PAC-MAN video game released by Ban- dai Namco Entertainment Inc. (formerly NAMCO LTD.) in 1980. Pacathon is an adventure to explore what the next generation of PAC-MAN Turnton Docklands , Time's Up Turnton might look like. What if PAC-MAN could be used as an instrument to reflect on human social instincts? What if we could free this character from the arcade game and release him into the real world? What does the future of PAC-MAN look like? Through a Microsoft HoloLens expe- rience, a multiplayer touchscreen game and an open workshop area, Pacathon offers a playful environment to investigate these ideas.
