I tried indoor skydiving in VR

2018-05-30
hi so I've tried indoor skydiving before but I've never been brave enough to carry myself out of a plane from 15,000 feet fortunately I don't have to do that because here at I fly there is a via indoor skydiving experience that's gonna get me pretty darn close to the real deal so the best part is you're gonna come with me let's go and try it Veronica I've never done via indoor skydiving before the most important question am I gonna throw up doing this definitely not so we did a lot of testing and you know VR is still relatively new but we've got some cool gadgets on here that'll help like get everything centered for you so you won't feel we won't feel like woozy and lost when you're in there because I'm not gonna be able to see anything I'm gonna have someone in there with me too right yes yeah the whole time so the instructor will literally help kind of stand you up mm-hmm shuffle you over to the door and then they're going to help leave you in onto our cushion of air and they'll be there the whole time kind of flying you like a very controlled kite okay it sounds like I need to suit up and then do the training and then I'm ready to go that's good before trying the VR I had a few practice rounds without it in the tunnel just to get me used to fly this is a modified skydiving helmet with a gear VR and Samsung Galaxy s8 you get a choice of jumping over Dubai Hawaii the Swiss Alps or California once I have the helmet on I can see the outside world with the rear facing camera just so I don't trip over when I'm walking around once the view switches into VR the instructor times when you enter the tunnel so it syncs with the moment you jump out of the plane I'm gonna have really really bad veal face that's gonna be a side effect for the next couple hours I'm sure oh really fun I felt very relaxed while flying because the instructors holding on to me and because the helmet doesn't let as much of the air in it is easier to breathe you just feel more relaxed you can feel like you're actually skydiving I mean I knew I wasn't because I could turn around and you know I could see the field of vision wasn't entirely covering it but it was so much fun and the best way to experience skydiving without actually having to do it so yeah
