Anyone seen this before? Pretty cool stuff. Must have a real passion for OutRun to put this much time into something like this. This brings to mind thoughts of people relying on technology a bit too much. Possibly the reason why a real "autodrive" car will never exist in our lives. Unexpected events are bound to happen. But as a concept, this is pretty cool! http://www.conceptlab.com/outrun/ |

Interesting to see, but it seems that their biggest challenge is to program a way to 'see the road' through the cabinet that the placed there to block their vision. Umm... ??? Even if they used a video camera to send a live feed to the screen showing the 'actual' road in front of them would be kinda neat. Pixelate it if need be. |

Claiming that you're rendering the real world into arcade graphics on the fly would be impressive.... and the showcase of a video like that.... and wouldn't show straight road while you're turning the car.... --- End quote --- I'd have to agree with you there. All I wanted to see in the video was sort of a comparison between the real road and the one he saw on the screen, but it wasn't in the video. --- Quote from: HanoiBoi on April 13, 2011, 01:15:16 pm ---Interesting to see, but it seems that their biggest challenge is to program a way to 'see the road' through the cabinet that the placed there to block their vision.

The whole idea is a bit ridiculous. I just thought it was a cool concept. To change the real world and present it as a virtual one as you drove around. Certainly not a project that I would ever choose to spend my time on. :) |

Is it just me, or was he looking around the side of the cabinet as much as at the screen? :lol |
