Project Birdly: Feel like a bird with Oculus Rift Bashny.Net

Virtual reality is becoming more real, so to speak :) Now massively implemented projects for the implementation of human in virtual reality, so that the feeling was as realistic as possible.

Recently the University of the Arts Zurich exhibited interesting project that allows a person to feel like a bird. All this is a bit of a 5D, 8D and other similar cinemas where you are sitting on a chair, feeling that an aviator, the party races, the visitors of the park with the "roller coaster". In these theaters and chairs moving, and Vodicka sprayed, and the breeze felt.

Well, in Birdly you feel like a bird through Oculus Rift, the breeze and the wings. However, wooden.

During the "flight" box, which is "bird", constantly moving, in addition, you can use the wings to allow any plan or soar high in the sky, or dive down.

Needless to say, this is not the first nor the last of such a simulator, but the video shows us that in a virtual reality people can really feel like a bird. And I think a very small time something like this will appear in the homes of many of us.

Mean not just this installation, and some system-based Oculus Rift.
