#4I love the fan at the front. What a great touch.
I wonder though if this can be done without hydraulics and based purely on a balanced board. So to dive you'd shift forward, the board will tilt and you'll get a sensation of diving. Or will this be too counter-intuitive to control?

#5The best (and only) flying simulation I've ever experienced was on a ride at California Adventure, which was built inside a warehouse. Riders were locked into a seat (rows of about 6) and a projector turns on. Wind starts blowing, as the scenery changes below you. My favourite part of it though was when they tilted the seats back and forth, simulating g-force. Would love to see one of these happen for Oculus Rift, although it's not really a consumer product.

The ride also catches your sense of smell to as well. It's awesome.

#7This needs to be coupled with the project where you control a quadcopter with a camera attached to it.

#8This has been my dream project ever since I started getting excited about VR, and they've done an amazing job. I really want to experience this.

#9>The whole scenery is perceived in the first person perspective of a bird.
Except that birds eyes are on the side of their head, so what they see is not much like this.
