JAPAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Here is a short footage on our recent work on quantum levitation. We were inspired by the game Wipe'out to do our work. With this new technology, we hope to revolutionize the world of motor transport; Maybe in a near future we could assist to a real Wipe'out race.

これはクォンタムレビテーションに関する我々の研究および実験を記録した短いモーンタージュである。　ラボの若手研究者諸氏は当該ゲーム"Wipe'Out" により触発され、当研究に着手するにいたった。

彼らは、近い将来当研究の成果により、実物大の "Wipe'Out" レースが可能になるであろうと予想している。

yeah i saw it too. although chances are this is fake marketing campaign, but a really fucking cool one mind out. while superconducting levitation can be produced and is real, there is something decidable odd about this whole set up. just my two bits...also i see people reporting the college in question is not even real. still if i could have something like this is real life, oh man.

Hehe, I wondered the same. Sweet marketing, though.

I agree it all looks a bit odd, but very cool though. Thanks for sharing the link

It is fake. No such Institute and at 1:14 you can see the error where the vapor trail from the yellow ship is accidentally going through the track at the top.

I have a feeling this is actually a real-time AR demonstration on PSV hardware.
