Designed by students at Zurich University of the Arts, Birdly is an installation that pairs an Oculus Rift with an apparatus that blasts sensory stimuli at you to give you the experience of flying like a bird. In addition to the visual and aural sensations that are common to VR, Birdly taps into your physical and olfactory senses as well. In the simulation you're strapped into a weird flapping body suit that measures your movement and translates it to the 3D simulation you're seeing in your Rift. As your speed in the simulation increases, a fan mounted in front of your nose blows air at you faster to give you the sensation of the wind in your face. And as you pass over different landscapes you're exposed to different smells to match the view.

Dear Facebook, 

 

Well Damn, the Oculus Rift is amazing. That would be cool to try out. Up next, being a bird chased by a hawk. And after that, simulated base jumping...

If you f*** this up, I WILL DESTROY YOU!

 

Sincerely, 

 

A Fan of VR

I said I wanted to feel like a bird, not like an anchor.

Awe, so you want to take it nice and slow with a puny fan in your face, instead of the full force of fresh air zipping you around and the adrenaline rush you get :D I would spend the $150 any day to skydive, then to pay $400 for the Oculus and god only knows how much that contraption will be lol, to get the filling of a bird LMAO

If I'm going to look that way, I would only do that alone behind 7 locked doors underground in Mars.

The stone cannot know why the chisel cleaves it; the iron cannot know why the fire scorches it. When thy life is cleft and scorched, when death and despair leap at thee, beat not thy breast and curse thy evil fate, but thank the Builder for the trials that shape thee.
