Onboard View at Where Fair 2009

We've uploaded on-board image from our Joker Racer at Where Fair (where2.0).

We had many visitors at Where Fair, so sorry for the people who was hit by our car...
Actually, it was the first time to drive this car for the driver.

Best drive among the attendees at where2.0

We've finished Where 2.0 2009. Thank you very much for all people who have visited our demo booth or listened to the presentation at Launch Pad.

The video captured during each drive is recorded to our server. We believe this one is the Best, so we uploaded it to YouTube.

It's really like a short TV show. If you like it, please leave your comment.

Troubleshooting of Joker Racer at Where 2.0

Uh-oh, we have a trouble in one of Joker Racers, Toyota Crawler.

Where 2.0 Day 3: Live streaming from Exhibition Hall

Today, we connected Joker Racers to the Internet, not the ad-hock network for demo.

What's the difference? Now, you can drive Joker Racers, and the drive record, I mean the movie, can be viewed from your laptop. Almost live streaming. Cool, isn't it?
