We found a great post this past weekend on fastcompany.com which we thought we’d share with you. Author David Zax describes an interactive video game designed by researchers in the bioengineering department of Stanford University that uses living cells as part of the game mechanics. These “Biotic Games” are played much like any arcade classic however characters such as Pac-Man are substituted with paramecium instead.
Checkout the video below from Stanford University and be sure to read the full blog post at fastcompany.com
The study was published in the latest issue of Lab on a Chip which can be retreived by following the link below:
