GameDesk Tours New SCIENCE OF FLIGHT Roadshow

Posted by

GameDesk and Syyn Labs collaborated on a new, embodied version of GameDesk’s AERO! game, transforming it from a stand-alone iPad app to a fully immersive, multi-sensory flight simulator experience. Nicknamed “The Science of Flight”, this creation puts the player into the game by utilizing a custom-built Albatross Wing controller and 18 Dyson Bladeless fans. Together they replicate the effects of wind on an albatross’ wings, allowing the player to actually feel what it’s like to be a bird in flight. full story
