Cat Royale explores the impact of AI on humans and animals.
Three cats lived inside an environment created by the artists. For 12 days Ghostbuster, Pumpkin and Clover spent time inside each day. Their every need was catered for. They had food, drink and air conditioning. They had high ledges to watch from; cubbyholes to snooze in and a floor to ceiling scratch post. Every surface was covered in carpet so that they could climb and explore freely.
At the centre of the room was a robot arm controlled by an AI, connected to a computer vision system. Every few minutes the AI instructed the robot to offer a game to the cats. Over time it learned which games each cat liked best.
The robot threw balls or dropped them into a ball run. It dangled feathers, offered snacks and introduced a cardboard box. It rang bells and dragged a toy mouse.

Can You See Me Now? was one of the first location based games in the world. It’s a fast paced game of chase with a twist.
It won awards and travelled the globe. But it hasn’t been seen in over a decade. We’ve now redeveloped the game from scratch for smartphones (I know, right!). It’s faster, better, and even more fun to play.
