The company I'm working for recently started shipping these around the world, had to FAT test a unit so I volunteered to have a go just to help out, as you would don't you know. It's a paragliding simulator which uses an Oculus Rift...bloody good fun!

Not my worst day at work ever got to admit!

Indeed, a pretty good way to spend the day actually. Sure it gives you something to do while waiting for your Pimax ;):p:D

Yeah, the Pimax might be quite a wait though given their current shipping performance. Testing is finished so no more sadly.

It was weird that I felt fine at the time, in fact it was an absolute blast, but about 10 minutes later I felt a bit strange, like when you're back on dry land after a spell on a boat. You really feel your stomach when you go down the big drops.

I also got the top score as you have to fly through rings to score points. :)
