Car modded to control a PC with windscreen display
The Real Virtual Car is a casemod and a carmod: the creators have hacked the controls of a real car -- steering, brake and accelerator -- so that they can feed a USB controller. Then they rigged an LCD projector to paint a PC's output across the windscreen. The result is a VR car, where you can play PC driving games in a wraparound interface.
