These scepters have a twofold purpose. First, they can be used to perform gestures that allow players to gather resources, upgrade team members, scan for hidden information, build structures, and attack opponents and structures. Second, the scepters’ screens and speakers allow players to perceive what is happening in the game. Just like citizens of Flatland who have a limited perception of their world, players can see only other players in the arena, but not their true identities in the game world. Only by using the scepter screens can players see the additional information that makes up the game world. Each player wears a costume in the colors of their team. The position of the players in space is tracked by two overhead cameras that map their physical positions in the arena to their positions in the game world. Spectators see the whole world: they can switch between watching the costumed players run around the arena and watching the display screens that show everything happening in the world of the game.
