Can you see me now? is a chase game played online and on the streets. Players are dropped at random locations into a virtual map of the Banff Centre. Tracked by satellites, Blast Theory's runners appear online next to your player. The runners use handheld computers showing the positions of online players to guide them in the chase. From the good folks at Blast Theory and the Mixed Reality Lab.

If we don't get to shoot that geek from the cel phone commercials ("Can you hear me now?"), I don't want to play.

You forgot the "NSA" tag.

they run around trying to "catch" you by getting to within five physical meters of your virtual position while you try to evade them. at least, that what it seems like. there's no game for another hour and half yet...

I read that initially as 'Can you see me now? is a chess game...' which is probably far less exciting and far geekier.
