World first voice-driven race game

 

In cooperation with Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., the VOICE DRIVER Production Team has developed the world’s first motor sports VOICE DRIVER, making it possible to drive a car using voice commands alone. The concept was made a reality in a one-year production effort to bring the enjoyment of motor sports excitement to everyone, young and old alike. All you need to enter the race is your voice. No complicated driving operations are needed as the volume of your voice is translated directly into the car’s propulsion. The race cars were developed based on radio-controlled four-wheel-drive models. Running on voice-controlled motors, the racing cars will speed around a 60m course. The auto body used is that of Nissan’s flagship FAIRLADY Z sports car. This is a race game that enables anyone to enjoy the FAIRLADY Z driving experience.
 
In commemoration of the game’s development, on November 10 (Sat.), the VOICE DRIVER CUP Japan Grand Prix voice-driven motor sports championship will be held at Nissan Global HQ Gallery in Yokohama.
 
One week later, on November 17 (Sat.), the VOICE DRIVER CUP World Grand Prix will be held on the Web at: http://cup.voicedriver.net
 
This time-limited 24-hour race will enable PC user contestants to join in the race using their computers. Also, in conjunction with these VOICE DRIVER CUP races, the VOICE DRIVER iPhone app will be distributed for free to enable users to enjoy the world’s first voice-controlled driving game to hone their voice driving skills. This is a fully developed racing game created with the cooperation of Bandai Namco Games, creators of the Ridge Racer racing game series. All you need to participate in the VOICE DRIVER CUP races is your voice and a passion for motor sports.
