A
futuristic simulator which claims to recreate the experience of flying like a
bird over America could soon go into production.
The
Birdly simulator is now touring American cities and stimulates all of the
senses to give a sense of flying based on human dreams, its inventor claims.
Users
lie down flat on their stomachs to use the machine and angle their bodies up
and down to dive or ascend, as it blows wind into their face with appropriate
force.
They
also strap on goggles, programmed with life-like visuals of American cities
that allow them to observe real skylines and landscapes below.
The
simulator even recreates smells that relate to the landscape below, with
machines bellowing out a salt-air aroma as the user flies over the sea, and
more industrial odors above the city.
