05 Beam Racer: Turning Floors into Playgrounds

Beam Racer takes over the gym as Jen and Ido imagine racing RC cars on a projected track that morphs in real time. With their warm, mischievous tone, they weigh ceiling projectors versus tiny car beams, talk tracking with AprilTags, latency tricks, and forgiving rules. The fun twist: glitches become features—shadows turn into storms, kids’ feet into meteors. Modes from tag to balloon pops to photoreal “satellite” maps make the idea feel surprisingly doable and delightfully theatrical.
