Race for Strength-PC - Games

The requirements for the game are a printer and web camera. "Army - Race for Strength," the newest element in the interactive, participatory Strength in Action Zone exhibit at major NASCAR and NHRA races, made its debut Feb. 11, simultaneously in four locations: • Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla., during Speed Week preceding NASCAR's Daytona 500. • Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, Calif., as part of festivities surrounding the NHRA's Kragen O'Reilly Winternationals. • McCormick Place at the Chicago International Automobile Show. • Online via a downloadable version at [b][url]http://www.goarmy.com/raceforstrength[/url][/b] The game is considered to be one of the first practical uses of augmented reality, a technology which mates real-world activities with computer-generated graphic situations. "Drivers" use a palm card (received upon registration at a Strength in Action Zone or printed during the Internet download process) to control the #39 U.S. Army Chevrolet (through a Web cam) as it weaves through a convoy of speeding Mine Resistant Ambush Protected and Stryker vehicles. The card can be turned left and right for steering, tilted forward to accelerate and pulled back to brake. In addition, players can stop playing the game and receive more information about the U.S. Army vehicles with which they share the road. Newman "talks" throughout the 45 seconds of game play, offering commentary like "Now you're trading paint" and "Hey - careful with my car," if his Chevy should hit one of the military vehicles. He also offers advice like "Take the inside!" or "Don't get stuck in traffic" to help the player excel in the mission.

'If you have any questions and can't get a hold of us, ask Sgt. Star. [url]http://sgtstar.goarmy.com/ActiveAgentUI/Agent.aspx#[/url]' brilliant.

Obviously needs a sticky.

Sounds like it uses a cheap, home made Kinect.

Haha this is brilliant.

Protip: If you are going to pretend to be a US army recruiter, you should probably not be using an IP that traces back to Wyoming. Why? Because there are no US army bases in Wyoming that are still in service. You are a bizarre troll account.
