[3D Contents] Is my room going to become a Mario Kart game track?

RE_VRIN 2023. 10. 30. 14:15

Have you ever seen people waiting in long lines to enter luxury brand stores? Among Nintendo games, Mario Kart is highly popular and has been releasing various series and versions of the game for a long time. Before introducing "Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit," let's take a look at several versions of Mario Kart that have been released so far.

 

 

The first installment in the Mario Kart series is "Super Mario Kart." It was released in 1992 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and featured 2D graphics, offering 20 tracks, diverse characters, and items.

 

Next is "Mario Kart 64," released for the Nintendo 64. The most significant change was the upgrade from 2D to 3D graphics. It supported 16 tracks and up to eight players, allowing for more varied gameplay.

 

 

The version I'll introduce next is "Mario Kart: Double Dash!!" released in 2003 for the Nintendo GameCube. It introduced the double kart system, allowing players to ride two characters on one kart and race together.

 

In 2006, with the release of Nintendo Wii, Mario Kart games utilizing motion controls were introduced. In 2008, "Mario Kart Wii" was released with an expanded track selection of 32 tracks. In 2014, "Mario Kart 8" was launched not only for Nintendo Wii but also for Nintendo Switch.

 

 

 

After consistently releasing new versions over a long period of time, Nintendo introduced a new version of Mario Kart on December 17th,2020 that offered a unique gameplay experience not seen before. It's called "Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit," an AR game version that allows users to create virtual racing courses within their homes. Unlike previous versions that only allowed access to a few pre-existing tracks, Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit stands out by enabling users to create their own custom tracks.

 

 

 

Here's how you can turn your home into a Mario Kart track: Using an RC car equipped with a camera and controlling it with a Nintendo Switch console allows you to move the RC car while capturing your home environment through its camera. As you control it by looking at real-time video on your Switch console screen during gameplay, all actions are synchronized between the RC car and virtual kart racing on your screen—immersing you in realistic racing experiences within your own home.

 

 

Additionally, by placing four provided gates around your room and driving through them once in sequence, you register the path taken by the kart as part of your course layout. Everything within those gates—from large furniture pieces to small objects like dolls—becomes part of your track layout. Therefore, users can create infinite variations of tracks.

 

 

Through "Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit," users can bring real-world structures into their game or directly observe gameplay from both virtual and real-world perspectives—a unique fusion between reality and virtuality that provides immersive experiences.
