Mediated Perception is a small, wearable device that is used for playing augmented reality games. The device, which is worn on the head, uses two cameras to capture visual information from the surrounding environment. That information is then recorded, filtered, and sent back to the user on an embedded LCD screen. The device runs on a version of the Linux operating system and includes an embedded graphics card.
