JAPAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Here is a short footage on our recent work on quantum levitation. We were inspired by the game Wipe'out to do our work. With this new technology, we hope to revolutionize the world of motor transport; Maybe in a near future we could assist to a real Wipe'out race.

これはクォンタムレビテーションに関する我々の研究および実験を記録した短いモーンタ­ージュである。　ラボの若手研究者諸氏は当該ゲーム"Wipe'Out" により触発され、当研究に着手するにいたった。

彼らは、近い将来当研究の成果により、実物大の "Wipe'Out" レースが可能になるであろうと予想している。

This could be real because this was shown on vsauce2.

[super6plx]

not saying that this isn't possible, but this has a few serious indicators of CGI that anybody who does it can spot fairly easily

it's CGI in this particular instance, folks

[Vilppu Penttilä]

It's not :( the link in the description....

Search for: " Demo Reel - Wipeout Quantum Levitation" on youtube.

I have no doubt quantum locking is a real thing, but this particular video displays very obvious signs of CGI

besides it's just a marketing video for a game, it should be obvious to you

[Kevin Marseglia]

just look up Amlog Boaz and quantum locking on ted.com

[tri1force]

At 1:14 you can see the steam is drawn OVER the track..

vsauce army!!!!!!!

No, this is CGI sadly, check the making the video video. This is entirely possible however it would just take some effort to build a track and some functioning superconductor toy cars.
