Fly like iCare with iBird
The iBird Flight Simulator was by far the most creative demo of Microsoft Research Summit yesterday. Developed in collaboration with the University of New York, he works with a USB controller connected to two ropes shrink to detect your movements in 3D. The iBird returns this information simulator that projects a 3D world in which you are a bird that flutters.
The coolest is without doubt the use of fans connected to the computer, which increase or reduce the apparent wind depending on the speed at which you want. You get a feeling of air resistance during your flight. Ilia Rosenberg, a leading student of the NYU behind this project, explained that they had tried to use Wiimote, but they did not have this feeling of force feedback that allows their USB controller.
