I didnt see this before it rolled down the page a bit. So bump. That is pretty cool! Imagine a home version jump simulator, you could just bail out whenever!  Smiley Grin

I tried a VR head set system out a couple of years ago. After two minutes my stomach contents wanted to vacate it's usual location and check out the "real world". If I tried out this, it is Catch 22. Barf all over the instructor or soil myself doing the real thing Grin Grin
