Real-life Mario Kart: AR go-karting where you shoot weapons at rivals

Furqan Rydhan pitches an AR go-karting venue: longer track, goggles overhead, drive over digital boxes to pick up weapons, and shoot opponents to briefly shut down their cart. A location-based attraction like Sandbox VR or modern laser tag.

“I was like, dude, it would be cool if we could, you know, go to a go-karting place, but it's like Mario Kart instead, where you have these AR goggles over your head, and it's not about quick turns, and it's like a longer track where you can kind of like have some space. But I, you know, would digitally go over this box, and I now have a weapon that I could shoot at your car, and if I hit you successfully, your car kind of shuts down for a second and you're stuck. So like the real-life Mario Kart.”

Steal thisLayer AR game mechanics onto an existing physical activity (go-karting) to create a location-based attraction.
