Mars Workshop at University of Osnabrück

So far, MicroPsi agents relax on friendly island worlds. It is time that they do some work an, um, colonize Mars, for instance. Last week's workshop, being part of a HCI course, yielded a journey to our planetary neighbor.

Many thanks to Henning for modeling, and to Ronnie and Matthias for gently guiding everyone along.
The weekend was a complete success: We now have 2D and 3D world objects, representations and interaction modes for Mars agents. The agents themselves have progressed in time too: from an antique steam engine to a 1972 Lunokchod.
Cheers for everyone who participated! Thanks for cookies, tea, coffee and lots of help and activity! A preliminary standalone Mars demo is available too.
