Now you can monitor everything that’s going on without being seen. Granted, you will definitely be noticed in this ‘Media Vehicle,’ a gigantic cocoon-like contraption, but no one will know it’s you in there.
Created by Iwata-Yano Laboratory at Tsukuba University, the Media Vehicle provides a personal virtual reality experience. With a four-wheel design for fluid and stable movement, the Media Vehicle is equipped inside with a huge spherical display that can project videos and images from a camera located on the exterior.
