WeBlimp

One of the coolest things (in my opinion) going on at the olympics right now is an interaction experiment called WeBlimp. The WeBlimp is a remote controlled mini blimp. At they olympics, though, this miniature blimp is controlled by multiple people who stand in a space and work cooperatively to direct the blimp. People must work together to direct their collective center to direct the blimp. However, the blimp is in a completely different room and has a camera so those steering it can interact with those who are actually near it. It makes for some pretty interesting (and I'm guessing, at times, some funny, foolish, and frustrating) interactions.
