Xbox Live Over WiFi While Driving
>> Today from Jake Ludington's MediaBlab
[QUOTE]
Brandon Wirtz and I decided to fix that by building the ultimate in-car Xbox Live gaming experience. With Brandon driving his Jeep and me in the back with a video camera, we captured the whole experience of Brandon's roommate, Rose, playing Rainbow 6 Las Vegas and Uno (with Xbox Live Vision) while driving around Mountain View.
One of the things I love about being in Mountain View, CA this winter is free WiFi from Google. The entire city has WiFi provided by Google. So when you have too much WiFi and too much free time, you get a project like the one Brandon and I did this weekend. We outfitted Brandon's new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with a 23-inch Samsung HDTV and an Xbox connected to Google WiFi via my laptop, ala my Xbox 360 wireless connection sharing tip.
Everything was powered by two inverters, although as you'll see in the video, we could have powered the HDTV screen and the Xbox 360 off of the same 400-watt interver. The laptop we used for the Internet connection ran off of battery power, although we could have easily powered it from an intverter as well. If you had none of the parts, the whole thing, including laptop, Xbox 360, Xbox 360 camera, HDTV and intverters would likely cost around $4000 to setup. If you already have a laptop, Xbox 360, etc, you could re-create our setup for the cost of a screen and mounting plate.
