The market for [virtual reality and augmented reality toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/explorer) is only expanding, which is evident with new options like the Silverlit FPV Spy Rover that are being introduced. Looking like an off-road [remote control car](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remotecontrolled-cars), the toy offers users the ability to put on the accompanying headset and experience the first-person viewpoint of the vehicle as you drive it. This means you can partake in a bit of snooping or check out areas you can't physically reach to continuously try something new when taking the car out for a spin.

The Silverlit FPV Spy Rover features a remote control that will allow you to adjust the camera, perform impressive maneuvers and even record the footage onto a microSD card.
