Abstract: We introduce an extension of the frog model to Euclidean space and prove properties for the spread of active particles. Fix $r>0$ and place a particle at each point $x$ of a unit intensity Poisson point process $mathcalPsubseteqmathbb{R}^d-mathbbB(0,r)$. Around each point in $mathcalP$, put a ball of radius $r$. A particle at the origin performs Brownian motion. When it hits the ball around $x$ for some $xinmathcalP$, new particles begin independent Brownian motions from the centers of the balls in the cluster containing $x$. Subsequent visits to the cluster do nothing. This waking process continues indefinitely. For $r$ smaller than the critical threshold of continuum percolation, we show that the set of activated points in $mathcalP$ approximates a linearly expanding ball. Moreover, in any fixed ball the set of active particles converges to a unit intensity Poisson point process.
