Chaos Karts Manchester: Augmented reality go-karts blending arcade gaming and racing

The UK's first live action video game karting experience arrives in Manchester this week and we were the first inside to take to the tracks.
Chaos Karts combines real-life racing with augmented reality and it feels like you're inside a game of Mario Kart. Each player has their own kart and just like Mario, you get to pick your own avatar and even the colour of your vehicle.
The easiest way to explain it is that the players are real, the karts are real and the racing experience is real - you whizz around an actual track. It's the track that changes each time though, as it's projected onto the floor along with the rest of the landscape that surrounds you.

It's really good fun. Not as fast as normal karting, but the track changes every couple of minutes so you have to stay alert and watch out for all the power ups flying around like in Mario Kart
