OUT RUN SEGA CAR SHAPED ARCADE GAME CABINET ELECTRIC VEHICLE SIMULATE DRIVING COMPONENT..2011 CANADA

Garnet Hertz's video game concept car combines a car-shaped arcade game cabinet with a real world electric vehicle to produce a video game system that actually drives. OutRun offers a unique mixed reality simulation as one physically drives through an 8-bit video game. The windshield of the system features custom software that transforms the real world into an 8-bit video game, enabling the user to have limitless gameplay opportunities while driving. Hertz has designed OutRun to de-simulate the driving component of a video game: where game simulations strive to be increasingly realistic (usually focused on graphics), this system pursues "real" driving through the game. Additionally, playing off the game-like experience one can have driving with an automobile navigation system, OutRun explores the consequences of using only a computer model of the world as a navigation tool for driving.

Project Description
The OutRun project is a game and media art project that explores the overlap between the physical world and game environments. OutRun explores the act of driving a vehicle and the interstitial space between everyday life (driving an automobile) and a simulation of it (playing a driving video game) by combining the real world and OutRun, an 8-bit arcade driving game released by Sega in 1986. This project features two main components:
Cabinet-Car: A car-shaped sit-down arcade cabinet from Sega's OutRun is converted into a small car that can actually drive. This is done by modifying an existing fiberglass and wood cabinet to include motors, wheels and drivetrain components from an electric golf cart. This customized cabinet-car uses the existing videogame controls (steering wheel, acceleration pedal, brake pedal) to control the vehicle to a maximum speed of 20 kilometers (13 miles) per hour. See Figure 1 for a mockup diagram of the completed cabinet-car.
Custom Augmented Reality Software: The screen, which is positioned in front of the driver, renders the real world in the style of the 1986 video game OutRun by Sega. This is done through custom-built software to display a street-level view rendered in the style of the vintage video game. In other words, the driver only sees an 8-bit-style game rendered in their "windshield," which appears as if they are playing the 1986 videogame. Accelerating or turning the car-cabinet in the real world will proportionally change the display. Although the screen will mimic the real world around it, the augmented display and the real world do not match perfectly.
Project Motivation
This project is motivated by the following concepts:
The De-Simulation of Driving - This project de-simulates the driving component of a videogame. Driving game simulations strive to be increasingly realistic, but this realism is usually focused on graphical representations. Instead, this system pursues "real" driving through a videogame as its primary goal.
GPS Navigation & Mixed Reality Seamfulness - Driving in a real automobile with a GPS navigation system can be game-like. This project explores the consequences of only using a computer model of the world as a navigation tool for driving. The windshield of this project's vehicle only shows a re-rendered simulation of the immediate environment, and as a result, driving it in the real world will likely be difficult or dangerous. As a result, this project explores and investigates how augmented reality and GPS data differs from the physical world, and what happens when an augmentation of reality envelops and obfuscates reality.
A system that intentionally plays with parallax between the physical environment and mixed reality can be described as seamfulness, a concept initially proposed by Mark Weiser in 1994 and expanded since 2002 by Matthew Chalmers and other researchers at the University of Glasgow. Seamful design can be defined as an approach to reveal and exploit inevitable technical limitations in ubiquitous computing systems rather than hiding them. Seamful design starts with the assumption that infrastructures and users in the real world have limited technical resources: patchy network coverage, fluctuating signal strength for wireless networks and inaccuracies in positioning systems are the norm, not the exception. For example, seamful design argues that these seams and gaps should be exploited and used in mobile game design for more fault-tolerant usability and more engaging gameplay.
