This looks brilliant, a mockumentary about Ralph Macchio. The guy from Karate Kid is now 48 and he wants to be famous again.
This is a brilliant piece of technological innovation. Using a Nintendo Wii and some nice footage they’ve been able to create what looks like a scenic view out of a window which moves in real time whilst you move to continually give you the right perspective. The examples in the below demonstration include the Golden Gate bridge in San Fran as well as underwater and orbiting the earth. It’s really trippy watching these environments from a living room setting but it’s also really cool.
At the moment I imagine it only works for the one person who is wearing the device (which is round the babies neck in this demonstration). However, I imagine as the technology evolves, we get screens which are angle dependent, there would be no reason why the computer couldn’t distinguish between different people and play the video in the right perspective for whoever was looking.
One of my favourite movies has to be the original Karate Kid. An uplifting story of weak kid overcoming all the odds and beating the bully’s was inspiring enough for me to sign up to the local Karate school! Yes, that lasted all of two weeks before some kid headbutted me and the St Johns ambulance carried me out on a stretcher but still Karate Kid holds a warm place in my heart.
They’re now releasing a revamped version of the film with Will Smith’s son Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan. This time it’s set in China but apart from that everything plot wise looks exactly the same. The only problem I foresee is the language barrier. Will kids in the US and UK really want to watch a film in Chinese with subtitle or are they just going to avoid it and have everyone speaking English?
Either way, check out the trailer here
