Want to be inside a radio-controlled car?

In 2008, Nikon announced the release of a unique portable media player called Media Port UP300x. The novelty is a futuristic-looking headset with a display for watching videos.





In fact, Media Port UP is a portable mini-computer or media player with headphones that can be worn directly on your head. The size of the display of the novelty is very small (0.44) inches, but, according to the company, modern optics will create the effect of viewing a 50-inch screen from a distance of 3 meters. On this screen, you can view video files in the formats MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and WMV, with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. In addition, thanks to Wi-Fi 802.11g support, the owner of the device can visit websites and even buy music.



The device has 4 or 8 gigabytes of internal memory for storing content. The novelty works from two standard AA batteries. According to estimates, this is enough to watch a 120-minute video or 270 minutes listening to music.

And now I’ll tell you what the meaning of all of the above is.

A miniature wireless WiFi video camera is installed on a radio-controlled car model (for example Mini-Z ), which transmits a signal to the Media Port UP300x.



The result is the effect of your full presence inside the Mini-Z , racing along the highway:



You can buy the headphones themselves in online stores in Japan ... the price of Media Port UP300x is $ 745, excluding delivery. And the solution based on Media Port UP300x for Mini-Z is not yet available for purchase - this is a concept. While it is just being run on the Mini-Z track of the Tokyo club KYOSHO OMOTESANDO, and anyone can test it in August.

On the other hand, you don’t have to wait until such a decision is sold in a single box. Video glasses and wireless miniature video cameras are freely sold in Moscow ... The solution is much cheaper, but the effect is the same
