It's been a dream of humans to fly through the sky at least since the time of Leonardo Da Vinci. Although we now have jetpacks and wingsuits, there wasn't a way for us to experience the sensation of flying between skyscrapers until now. This is Birdly, a virtual reality flying simulator that, unlike Red Bull, actually gives you wings. People were seen flapping virtual wings on Birdly at the 2017 SXSW festival on Wednesday. Birdly, the full-body virtual reality flying simulator, combines VR, music, and a wind generator to create the sensation of flying. Users flat their arms on the machine to flap wings in the simulation and generate lift. The idea for Birdly was conceived for a research project at the Zurich University of the Arts in 2013 and it was brought out onto the market in December 2015. How would you like to be free as a bird?
Technology is moving at such a rapid pace that it can be quite hard to keep up with all the new inventions. Drone have become a mainstay in popular culture in the last few years, but some scientists and engineers from Russia's Voronezh State University may have just invented a new way to pilot them. This drone prototype is designed to be flown with the help of augmented reality glasses that allow the wearer to guide the motion of the quadcopter simply by looking in the direction that he or she wants the drone to go. The team began working on the product began seven years ago but have only now reached the point of testing out their prototype model. With the success of their prototype, the team is now working on improving usability and design, with the hope of exporting their product abroad.
The brand with the four rings has delivered. At the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Audi announced it would transform its vehicles into an experience platform for virtual reality (VR). Selected models have been “holoride-ready” since the summer. Audi will return to CES Las Vegas to offer media professionals and trade show visitors current content and a new VR game through “experience rides”. Following the launch in Germany, the VR entertainment offering will become available in other European markets next year.Audi is the first car manufacturer in the world to bring virtual reality entertainment by holoride to series production. At CES 2023, visitors can experience rides in the rear of an Audi e-tron and e-tron Sportback. The Audi Hub at the Waldorf Astoria will be their starting point.Behind holoride is a new technology that adapts the virtual content to the car’s driving movements in real time. For example, if the vehicle takes a right turn, the spaceship in the virtual world will also fly to the right. If the car accelerates, the spaceship speeds up, meaning a ride in the car becomes a multimodal gaming event. An added bonus is that by synchronizing the user’s visual and felt experiences, holoride reduces the risk of motion sickness, which many passengers experience when watching movies or other dynamic content in a moving car.
One of the first vehicles to be so, the new Audi Q8 e-tron is holoride-capable thanks to the modular infotainment kit (MIB 3). Rear seat passengers can put on virtual-reality glasses (VR glasses) and immerse themselves in games, films, and presentations, making car rides a multimodal experience. The main attraction: virtual content adapts to the driving movements of the car in real time.
