India, Feb. 27 -- Researchers at Nagoya University are on the verge of linking nanotechnology with gaming to create the world's smallest gaming device. AR, augmented reality, basically adds virtual elements on top of the real world, and this microscopic game is different because you can move microscopic objects in real time with real virtual elements that are sometimes impossible.

In this cool technology, players control a tiny digital spaceship with a regular game controller, where they steer through microscopic space while firing nanoscale 'bullets,' which are basically a polystyrene ball a few microns wide. It's not going to replace traditional gaming by any means, but the application and implications of this technology go beyond ente...
