Red Bull Augmented Racing is a new gaming app that lets gamers build their own tracks using cans of Red Bull. Players set the cans up any way they would like and then scan the tops of their cans with their device's camera to create the track.
While making a track for the Red Bull Augmented Racing game may sound complicated, it is actually pretty easy. The only downside is that players need a minimum of 12 cans to create a track, which means that only hardcore fans of Red Bull and those who just robbed a Red Bull-sponsored sporting event will get to play the game the way it's meant to be played. The app is free to download and can be seen in action in the attached video.
