Pictures finally available. http://www.lexus-int.com/amazinginmotion/slide/

But no mention of Cakewalk. Very disappointing.

Apparently car company beats leading DAW company in developing first working hover board.

Cool, but I wonder how they'll handle throwing the rider when you go over a crack.  That's an integral part of riding a skateboard!
 
(I tried out for Team Bane back in the day...)
 

 
Makes me miss this.  Customized to have everything that the 400 had except two cylinders...

Holy crap! I wonder if it pulls out your fillings or erases your phone?

Sadly, it's not really a hoverboard in the way we'd like it to be. It's a magnetic board. Not the first time it's been done, either but since Lexus slapped their logo on it, it's been getting lots of exposure. You have to use it at their skate park in Barcelona. It won't work anywhere else because it requires a custom magnetic surface to use.
 
I'll just keep dreaming of a real one for now. :(

Plus it looks like it goes through liquid nitrogen and we all have some of that in a bottle ready for a refill, ya?
