Problem Statement

AR gaming has become quite popular these days, with more and more people becoming comfortable with devices such as facebook's meta quest and Htc’s Vive, VR space is more popular than ever. Yet going back in time, a great hobby that still rallies quite a large group of people is RC cars. We believed in the idea of bringing both of these concepts together to provide something both intuitive and fun.
