Honda’s Sydney Festival magical spinning cup

It looks like an amusement park ride from the outside, but Honda promises it is actually a cutting edge experience using the latest digital and engineering technology which must be ridden to fully understand.

Called the HondaTrope, three people sit inside in a cup which begins spinning.

It is surrounded by 18 LED poles, and once the cup reaches a certain spinning speed the poles create a visual image of a garden which can only be seen by those inside the cup.
