Video Surveillance as a gaming platform

Check this story on using surveillance cameras in gaming.

The Zone project --by Bernd Hitzeroth and Myriel Milicevic at Interaction Design Institute in Ivrea (Northern Italy.)-- wants to turn Video Surveillance into a gaming platform.

The games, played on pc, is fed by live surveillance footage from remote surveillance cameras over the Internet. The player becomes an active agent in the surveyed world, experiencing a feeling of control and yet an uncertainty of what is fiction and what is real.

Reminds me of a certain web comic from a short while back.
