Airhockey over a distance: Socialize your videoconference

Socialite people could video conference. But videoconferencing people don’t socialize ― not always. Here comes the Airhockey Over a Distance.
“Airhockey Over a Distance is played like a conventional airhockey game. However, the table is split in half and the two ends are connected via a network. The players can see and hear each other at all times. They shoot a real puck back and forth, trying to score a goal. Once the puck passes the midway-line, its location is detected, and a corresponding physical puck is shot out at the other table.”
“Airhockey Over a Distance consists of two physically separate halves of an airhockey table. The player is recorded by a camera and the video is displayed on the screen of the other player, creating the illusion of playing together on one table.”

If you know the office general manager of the Google Campus, make them know this tool. They could create the first decentralize company campus.
