Freefall
October 2019 - Two Bit Circus - Installation
for X-Prize 2019
This was an experience for attendees of X-Prize,
2019. Guests were given an Oculus Quest VR headset
where they saw themselves leaping off the top of a
skyscraper. In reality, they were rigged up onto a
tether and pushed off a stage. The tether then
suspended the guests above a fan blowing air past
them as they saw themselves diving down to the
city streets below. The guest lands in a net just
before hitting the ground. I wrote the skydiving
game software in Unity, and worked with Eric
Gradman to make sure the game communicated
correctly with show control software.
