Classic game cabinet becomes a drivable car

A bit old (video is from January) but I've never seen this before.  This is an epic mod:

Drawing what the camera sees in the form of the game sprites, amazing work.

Cool in concept, but not quite there yet in application.

It still looks like the software used is in a basic state, it only seems able to grab the edges of road to help the guy see turns in the road. From the shots in this video, I am not seeing it notice people or objects in the road. The dude has to crank his head off to the side an aweful lot to see where he is going.



Plus, as much as an arcade dork as I am, I don't think I could be *that guy* who drives around campus in an arcade cabinet...wearing driving gloves.
