Mapa Racing

Robots, artificial intelligence and augmented reality are words that only the scientists could use 40 years ago. Now they are rapidly becoming the technologies of our present and near future, but not all society is prepared for these big changes. A big part of the society doesn’t trust these technologies or don’t give them enough credit. As the technology gets developed, new kind of jobs will inevitably appear and some others will slowly disappear. It is very important to bring awareness to the younger generations and teach them on how to use them.

My solution is to introduce to the new generations these technologies using a widely spread language, "videogames". The idea consists in creating a racing videogame that can be played in real life using augmented reality, FPV and car-like robots. First, the user will create a fully playable racing circuit selecting a zone with the mobile phone´s camera. Then the robot will be placed inside and the user will play seeing everything from the robot's perspective and the virtual reality. Everything that happens inside the game will be reproduced by the robot in reality (crashes, boosters, etc).
