Toyota's spectacular GR Super Sport concept was unveiled at the 2017 Tokyo Auto Salon last weekend. The GR Super Sport appears to draw inspiration from Toyota's LMP1, while using the same main components as the TS050 Hybrid. It's powered by a twin-turbo 2.4-liter V-6 hybrid system developed from the Toyota TS050 Hybrid’s powertrain and produces 986 horsepower. Is this the future of Toyota racing?
One man wearing a virtual reality helmet was the star of the show on Wednesday, drawing crowds of dozens to watch him play a VR game in an attempt to break a Guinness World Record for the longest time spent playing a single VR session. 31-year-old gamer Johannes Loeffelmann strapped on the headset from a Playstation PS4 Pro VR set, secured both hand controllers, and dove into the Matrix.
As virtual reality tech develops, we are discovering new uses for VR every day. Any mechanic will tell you how many parts any vehicle can have, and how it's not always clear what repairs are needed to fix an issue. The Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research displayed its VR solution for car repairs, which allows users to see a full 3D model of all the parts a car can have, at the 2017 CeBIT digital expo in Hanover on Sunday, . The system is designed specifically for mechanics, but may soon be available commercially. The technology can be used to show a mechanic where he has to look for repairs inside a car or where to install the corresponding part, among other tasks. Held annually in Hanover, CeBIT is one of the world's largest tech trade fairs and will go on until March 24.
Let's set the record straight. Virtual reality is when the real world doesn't show up in our field of vision and everything we see is the product of a computer. Augmented reality, like Google Glass, is when helpful images and text appear on a transparent surface while the real world makes up the majority of our field of view. And now there's mediated reality Mediated reality technology blurs the lines between the real and virtual worlds. Shenzhen-based tech company VisionerTech presented their own mediated reality goggles, which combine elements of both VR and AR, at the China Hi-Tech Fair in Shenzhen on Wednesday. The user can still see what's happening around him in the real world, but is still able to enjoy unreal, computer generated creatures and scenery, taking the best of both worlds.
