La société Huvr Tech a imaginé ce que serait une vraie planche Hoverboard tout droit sortie du film Retour vers le futur. La planche serait par exemple connectée à notre smartphone et à Bluebooth. Le concept est original mais la planche n’existe pas encore. Voici deux vidéos avec Tony Hawk ou Moby, testant la planche.

Fake product demos are getting harder to spot, what with reality-bending products like NeverWet and Oakley's hovercraft golf cart. Here is the latest video in that vein—a hypnotizing four-minute demo for a real-life hoverboard made by a company called HUVr.
Unfortunately, despite the video's insistence that the mind-boggling demonstrations "are completely real," the hoverboard does appear to be a fake. But that doesn't stop Tony Hawk, Moby, Terrell Owens, Agnes Bruckner and other celebs from pitching it fervently.
The question is: What real thing is this fake thing intended to promote? The HUVr website lists a "destination time" of December 2014, so it could be a movie or video game release. Some have suggested it could be for a new Tony Hawk skating (or hoverboarding) game.
Check out more on the HUVr site, where the testimonials include one from Mark Cuban, who opines: "This f**king thing is going to change the world!"
UPDATE: Tony Hawk has now come clean and apologized for the prank. See that video below as well.
