Maturity of wireless sensor networks will lead to a world full of smart objects, and remote controlled toys are no exception. Following the growing popularity of multiplayer computer games, we envision a novel application that enriches the gaming experience by taking the digital multiplayer interaction into the physical world of remote controlled toys. We propose the development of an infrastructure that relies on wireless sensor networks as the glue that makes it possible that remote controlled toys can be used in multiplayer games, and provide a roadmap for the development of such an infrastructure.
