An introduction to remote reality πŸš™

A similar immersive technology to virtual reality and augmented reality, but with a twist. Avicar pioneers technology that relies on live stream cameras; you can experience other environments in the real-world, in real-time. A potentially game changing technology in the world of motor racing!

The emergence of the ‘Smart Track’ 🏁

Learn how Avicar are creating a track that communicates with the car, and why that is absolutely critical to drastically the dangers that come with remote racing,

Merging competitive racing with wearable technology πŸ‘”

You may be thinking, how can you experience the true feeling of driving a race car, without being sat behind the wheel? Well, Avicar are marrying the racecar with haptic technology to simulate g force compression or scraping the wall with the tyres.
