Skydiving in the Oculus Rift Virtual Reality Headset

Computer science student Dan Borenstein, also known as Vaecon, created a suspended harness to use with the SkyDIEving demo made by nDreams for the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset. In this video, Borenstein hangs from a tree in the rig while playing the skydiving simulator. “I’ve been thinking of things that I would never do and figuring how to do them in virtual reality,” he told GamesBeat. “It feels lot more real and immersive if you do it with the goggles.”
