Gadget of the Week - RC Camera Car
This weeks “Gadget of the Week” is a remote control car with a difference. This remote control car comes with the usual, car and remote control but the car has been added with a VGA camera and with that comes a video headset. Stick the headset on and get the real life view of what driving this RC car would really be like.
The digital camera had changed a user’s perspective on gadgets like laptop computers as well as plain desktop computers. The cell phone today is more than just annoying ringtones. Everyone is getting to know more about the gadgets they are buying, how many people used to know about polymer-based battery , not many I’m guessing. So it will not be long before you get more and more gadgets combining features just like this one, and it will not just be “its also a camera” feature either. This gadget has many uses…
You can use this to drive around corners, drive through different rooms and out of sight all while keeping full control of the car and experiencing an awesome view from the cockpit. The car is actually called the VTS camera car, VTS standing for Vision Tracking System and opens up numerous possibilities for filming from the in-car view. 
Imagine racing a friend or work mate in two of these, in either a straight drag race, across an off road course (jumps included of course) or around the office. Ideal for navigating your way through the cubical system to drop off those reports on your managers desk.
I’m not sure that this would make a stealthy spy gadget but I am sure that you can have a lot of fun with it. At around £600 ($1200) this is another expensive gadget, I’m sure that other manufacturers will take on board the idea and we will start to see the visor/camera combo in future RC cars.
Gentlemen….start your engines!
