If Sony Makes This PSP-Controller Car, I Will Buy It

A Sony patent application reveals a very neat implementation of the PSP. Imagine a camera-enable car you can drive around...through an augmented reality race course.

We assume the car is controlled over the PSP's Wi-Fi connection. The user steers by seeing what the car sees, with the PSP's display showing the car's POV webcam feed. This video feed could be recorded, making for a kind of ultimate upskirt device.

But in addition to all this fun stuff, Sony hints at racing games with "augmented reality zones." In other words, software could superimpose/replace objects in the video feed, adding a little arcade action to the toy car. Who knows if the design will ever see the light of day, but I really love the idea.

omg they should totally do it, that would be AWSOME

aside from the upskirt comment, it really sounds like fun

This is already possible with homebrew but an official car would be sweet.

Sounds fun. I hope controls are GTA-like

That would be sweet, I'd probably buy it too.

freaking awesome

I would definitely buy something like that

not only because of the upskirt possibility, but because it would be really cool and fun

this looks cool, but sounds very expensive.
