As publicity stunts go, Virtual Drift is a pretty complicated one. Here’s how it works: start with a driver from Formula D, a professional drift racing league. Build him an absurdly heavy custom helmet with an Oculus Rift instead of a visor. Wire his car up with a directional sensor and a server. On that server, load a racing game built with custom-designed, hyper-realistic physics. Instead of a mouse and keyboard, feed all the car’s controls — steering, gas, brake — out to the game. Send your driver into the middle of a parking lot where a surveyor has spent days mapping GPS coordinates. Ask him to drive, wearing the virtual reality headset, until the sensor is too confused to know where he’s going. Stop him, realign the car, and do it...
