A research team at Nagoya University in Japan has developed what they claim to be the "world's smallest shooting game," utilizing nanoparticles measuring 1 billionth of a meter. The game combines digital and physical elements, where players use a digital controller to interact with nanoscale polystyrene balls, which act as enemies. An electron beam projects a spaceship on a display and generates electric fields to influence the nanoparticles' movement. The technology showcases potential applications beyond gaming, including advancements in 3D printing and targeted medical interventions. A video demonstrates the technology, showing the beam directing focus toward the nanoparticles.

Oasis is an AI-generated game developed by the hardware startup Etched, in collaboration with AI developer Decart. It allows players to create and modify virtual environments in real time and is inspired by the sci-fi narrative “Ready Player One.” The demo was showcased on Twitter, and it operates on Nvidia’s H100 Tensor Core GPUs, with plans for Etched's own chipset, Sohu, which will offer faster performance. The project is currently free and serves as a research and proof-of-concept initiative. Interest in the demo has surged, overwhelming the hosting site. The technology behind Oasis relies on AI to produce graphics in real time without a traditional game engine.
