Coming from the world of drifting to the warm Californian asphalt at the unforgettable Laguna Seca, Marcel is back on track with his Mixed Reality recordings. We’ve have been hearing a lot of rumors regarding Porsche lately, so what better time to turn our attention to their spicier counterparts?
The story is pretty well-known at this point; Marcel uses an Oculus Rift VR headset in combination with green-screen technology to bring the experience of virtual driving to a whole new level. Marcel did several laps around the famous circuit with a RUF GT3, even using a Fanatec Porsche steering wheel to increase the sensation of driving the real deal. Voices coming from the pit crew further improve the track atmosphere.
Although the resolution may seem a bit lower, the actual quality of this entry in the series is much better. As stated by Marcel, the recording quality had to be reduced due to earlier Oculus Rift support for iRacing and some other games. Watch the video above and have fun!

These mixed reality videos are amazing. I can’t help but wonder though, if it would be possible to accurately model a pair of virtual hands on the movement of your actual hands by using a pair of special gloves and a tracking camera?
And I’m also wondering; once I have my PSVR headset and I’m using my wheel and a gear stick, will I still be able to find the stick?
A Ruf with a Porsche steering wheel.. Would never happen and spoils the illusion!
That game’s graphics actually is pretty good and realistic.
Typical iRacing @1:34 lol. Other than that, another awesome video.
Reminds me of Who framed Roger Rabbit?,with the mixture of reality and a more modern cartoon.
That looks great, the guy with the big mouth sorta ruins it a bit though :-)
Go right. Go right. Go right. Go right.
Yeah I have my spotter turned off!
