feel like a bird<\/strong>
\nslicing through the wind<\/strong>
\noh o experience over<\/strong><\/p>\n

I recently went to the Swiss consulate (Swissnexx) in Bangalore to try out their virtual simulator called Birdly. \u00a0 My timing was just about perfect since the crowd had just left. I was quite amused and curious when they asked how long back I ate.<\/p>\n

The equipment as you can see above has two projections where \u00a0the arms go. As you guessed by the name and design, this was a simulator to fly like a bird above the San Francisco Skyline. \u00a0There is a fan to simulate the wind and headphones that give an overall effect.<\/p>\n

The experience though a short one was anything like I had before. It was exactly like flying in the air and the flapping of wings and manipulation to turn and swoop exactly like a bird does. \u00a0I did do a pigeon when I crashed into a building and the simulation ended but they were good enough to start it again \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

That this was a freebie was an icing on the cake of course. \u00a0Guess what I did after that? \u00a0Tweeted of course!! (oh pun totally intended)<\/p>\n
