Developers Johannes Tscharn and ptpavlo showcase "virtual skins" for the Reachy Mini desktop robot from Hugging Face/Pollen Robotics: using AR tool @specs, they're building a game where Reachy gets "possessed" and players must exorcise it, with a character selection screen already revealed. Pairing physical mini robots with AR overlays hints at a playful new direction for desktop robotics.
