When they pass under the tablet’s camera (which is covered with a clip-on mirror), the augmented reality kicks in and the cars seemingly jump onto the screen. Use the tokens to anticipate, react, and strategize for winning results. Onscreen speed calls for real-world dexterity. Requires an iPad & Osmo iPad Base to play (not included). The big difference here, however, is that at the bottom of the short track both cars disappear into a tunnel under a docked iPad. Comes with MindRacers Launchpad, 6 Hot Wheels cars, 32 game tokens, and car/token storage. The race starts as it would with any traditional Hot Wheels track, by releasing two die-cast cars down the launch pad ramp. Launched yesterday, MindRacers essentially lets real Hot Wheels cars race on screen. The first game that combines real Hot Wheels cars with digital gameplay. At least that was the thinking behind Mattel’s decision to team up with educational-game gurus, Osmo, and turns Hot Wheels cars into components of a rad augmented reality video game. Download Osmo Hot Wheels MindRacers and enjoy it on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. But with a generation of kids who’d rather reach for a video game or a tablet than snap together pieces of orange track, giving it a modern refresh makes sense. The orange track, the loops, the launchers ⏤ it’ll always be one of the greatest toys you can pull from a stocking on Christmas morning. Players can race other Hot Wheels cars but a matching avatar won’t show up on screen it’ll be something generic. It’s tough to argue that classic Hot Wheels cars needed a 21st-century digital reboot.
