Invisible Highway is an experiment that uses augmented reality to create tracks and scenery for a real robot! The makers of this project were able to utilize the contents from AdaBox 002: Making things Move!! Via Experiments with Google:
Invisible Highway is an experiment in controlling physical things in the real world by drawing in AR. Simply make a pathway along the floor on your phone and the robot car will follow that path on the actual floor in your room. A custom highway with scenery is generated along the path to make the robots a little more scenic on your phone screen.
Built by Anna Fusté Lleixà, Judith Amores Fernandez and Jam3 with friends at Google Creative Lab using Unity, Tango, and AdaBox maker kit from Adafruit.
AdaBox002 – Making Things Move – Feather Bluetooth LE Mini Robot
with our Feather Bluetooth LE Mini Robot Rover is the perfect gift for folks who are just getting started in the world of DIY electronics. It’s an excellent introduction to our wide world of robotics and a great way to test the waters of AdaBox before committing to a subscription.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
