Rollersuit brings racing game to life


Have you ever wanted to slide along the ground at amazing speeds like the cybernetically-enhanced man/car hybrids in Kinetica? What? You say you haven't? You say you don't even know what Kinetica is? OK, take a few minutes to watch some videos of the game. We'll wait.

...

OK, so doesn't that look like it would be fun in real life? We know!

Anyway, French artist/engineer Jean-Yves Blondeau has apparently made this gaming dream a reality with a 31-wheeled roller-suit that can travel up to 100 kilometers per hour. According to Laurent, the suit was designed "to give [audiences] a smile, to get them out from their bad life." It certainly worked on us, and we hope it'll work on you too when you view the below clip.
