I’ve never really thought of Pac-Man as a horror game. Innocently chomping away, dodging ghosts from a top-down view is pretty tame. But taken from a first-person view, where you simply don’t know what’s around the next corner, it’s a whole new horrifying game.
Now that Google Glass has started making its way to those luck few who were chosen to receive a pair of its Explorer Edition, we can expect to see some cool visuals in the next couple of months. One of which was just uploaded yesterday onto Joseph Lallouz’s YouTube account.
As you could have guessed from the title of this story, Lallouz takes his Google Glass with him as he plays some ice hockey. The results remind us of the RefCam, which was used to give Rugby fans a first-hand look at the sport. Instead of following a referee, Google Glass allows us to follow a single player and experience what they do while they’re playing their sport of choice.
One of our major concerns for Google Glass is still its reportedly limited battery life and if something like this is to seriously be implemented into sports one day in the future, thirty minutes of battery life while taking video would be one of the things holding back sports fans from enjoying a first-person view of their favorite sport. But, man – it would be a really awesome thirty minutes.

Fans of sports have always been trying their best to get as close to the action as they possibly could. They buy tickets to games with the closest seat possible and buy the largest HDTVs so they can see every bit of the action as close as possible. One thing that has yet to be considered in sports is to strap a camera on the referee since they’re always in the middle of the action, but Fox Sports AU has gone ahead and done that to show what it would look like in a special segment on Rugby HQ.
The RefCam slaps a GoPro camera onto a referee’s ear that allows viewers to get in on the action right at the playing level. The results of the RefCam are absolutely amazing as the amount of action fans can view from the camera makes previous forms of watching sports seem prehistoric.
Rugby fans praised the RefCam to the point where they’re already considering allowing the technology to offer a first-hand view of the action again. Hopefully US sports associations or at least their broadcast partners are taking note as we could easily see the RefCam do well with football, basketball and maybe even baseball games if they were introduced.
