Huvr Board: Elaborate Hoax?

It's getting harder and harder to tell what's real and what's fake. Take, for instance, the supposedly new invention, Huvr Board. Someone went to a lot of trouble to make this look real, complete with video footage and celebrity endorsements. My sense is that it's a hoax, if only because it all looks too smooth and polished to be real.

    It's a good fake. We'll probably find out the purpose for doing it before too long.

      Yep, unfortunately it was a hoax, the real company is based in Russia and has been trying to create the real thing since 1991.


      If this was real apart from the FBI raiding this, or the military worried about some nutter taping a bomb to it, this would be widespread and revolutionize travel.


      Antigravity is possible but apart from UFO based tech, we usually need a clunky machine or special beams, to truly do it!

    Well, Michael FOX has a number of problems SO, if I wanted to do another film like BTTF, MTF would get, AT BEST, a CAMEO! And I doubt he would want to be associated with such a stunt. Many android phones, AND some others, CAN control such a thing now. They have more CPU power, and Google created or simply added a chip to communicate with things. As I recall, the original idea was merely to have a way to pay via your phone, almost like the RFID credit cards. Apparently it CAN do more, and I think the range can be several feet.

    But the way these boards are working makes NO sense, I am not aware of ANY technology that could do this and fit there, and some things make NO sense! WHY are they kicking? WHY does that woman push the board SO slowly, with water yet(BTTF simply said they couldn't be pushed OVER water. They could fly, and be pushed by some OTHER method. In BTTF one guy pulled out one with jets in the back, and others were pulled on THEIR boards by it.). And WHY did LLoyd walk ALL that way? If I were him, and had such a thing, I would do the lazier thing, and have a bigger impact, by merely using the board!

    BTW green screen and wires could easily do all they do here.

      Next version, niah, probably creating a viral video to push next years release of all three in 3D!

      It makes sense to release all three again at theaters in 2015.

      Or most likely January 16, 2015!


      No doubt the premiere release will be at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, with everyone wearing power lace sneakers!

      Might get annoying having all those glowing sneakers in a dark theater, but it would only add to the fun.
