Oskar Rug, 10, was one of those transported from the third annual
Science in Action event to the skies above Stanwell Park Beach on NSW's
Illawarra coast thanks to the world's first virtual reality hang glider. "I thought it was great, it really felt like it was real," he said. The simulation is the work of Braidwood and Canberra company VidiAir, and
involves donning a pair of virtual reality goggles and strapping into a grounded
glider that uses laser monitors to track the maneuvering of handles and eyewear. VidiAir director Anthony Hoy said the first public display of the product was
three weeks ago and it was hoped it would be embraced by hang gliders for
training.
