When engineers are bored.

If you’re a fan of the Playstation consoles, then you’ve definitely played a game from the Wipeout franchise! Well apparently a couple of geeks got bored of the Wipeout games and apparently getting a new game or trying a new activity like a normal person they decided to release their inner geek and build a virtual reality version of wipeout!

Obviously building something like what’s present in the game is close to impossible for a few average engineers, however building something close to that experience isn’t so difficult. What they essentially did was build a small remotely controlled car with a camera and a track out of cardboard. To make the experience a little more enjoyable they made the controller more realistic with your “windshield” being the screen.

This might not sound super cool, however when you check out the video above you’re mind will probably be blown. So check that out and let me know what you think!

If you’ve done something similar or something just as cool make sure you send me a video or pics via the contact form!
