Game Art: Max Rheiner's "Birdly" (2014)
Birdly is a full body flight simulator and virtual reality machine in which the players embodies a bird, the Red Kite, with sensory-motor coupling. Visualized through Oculus Rift, soar through the virtual landscape of San Francisco with a 3D model from PLW modelworks, heightened by sonic, olfactoric, and wind feedback along your flight path. Birdly was developed at the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) by Max Rheiner, Thomas Tobler, Fabian Troxler, and Vladimir Jankijevic.
Birdly is currently installed @ Swissnext in San Francisco.
