Making an R/C race car with an Arduino board, some R/C race car wheels and a few other components isn’t the most difficult task, however creating an HTML5 web app that can control that car isn’t something most people can do, but Gaurav Manek can.
Manek took some time this week to display his new toy using an Apple iPad, however most web enabled devices with an accelerometer can handle the task.
Not only can tablet devices be used, Manek also created a Kinect hack so the car can be controlled with the wave of the users hand.
Here’s a video of the car being controlled:
