Title: HoloLens-powered real-life Mario Kart is the real killer app
Post by: javajolt on July 23, 2017, 04:54:00 PM
We recently posted about a developer recreating a level from the iconic Super Mario Bros in real life using the Microsoft HoloLens (http://www.windows10newsinfo.com/smf/index.php/topic,33400.0.html), and while that looked great there is a limit to how much fun one person can have by themselves.
Enter stage left HadoKart, an attraction at Japanese VR-focussed 3rd-Planet gaming center, where they re-created the Mario Kart, complete with real-life go karts and virtual coins and bombs.
The only missing feature with Hado Kart it seems, unfortunately, is throwing sea shell, but maybe in the next version.
You can check out 3rd-Planet’s virtual attractions at their website here (http://3rd-planet.jp/shop/kohoku/news/event/6706/).
