This is rather fantastic. The Tate Museum in London offers the opportunity to wander the halls at night, in the dark. To watch everything on your own time. By controlling robots from your couch.
Viewing artworks online in museums has been possible for a long time. We have Google Art Project, we have the own Rijksmuseum that a wonderful app has, like the Louvre. So you can already see everything and from closer than you will ever be able to when you go 'live'. But this wasn't there yet: wandering the corridors and halls while the museum is closed. The Tate Museum now offers that possibility.
Every night, you can control a small robot that wanders the halls at your command. Although. There are only a few robots, and a small select group of people who get to drive the trolleys as well. Fat chance it fake is, in other words, and that the drivers just walk along with a remote control. But the idea is still fun.
And perhaps a whole new group of gamers will come up with the idea of walking around not in World of Warcraft for once, but in the Tate Gallery. As long as Orcs can be defeated.
They have yet to work on.
