実際にジェットコースターに乗ってオキュラスで異次元へ - VR Coaster - Complete "Blue Fire" Real+VR Onride Footage
ドイツの遊園地のジェットコースターでは、実際にジェットコースターに乗った状態で話題のVR装置オキュラス・リフトで異次元の世界を体験できるというものだ。景色はすべてバーチャルで構成されジェットコースターの動作にともなうさまざまな世界を体験することができる。
In February 2014, I approached the german roller coaster manufacturer Mack Rides with the idea of extending a real roller coaster by wearing an Oculus Rift headset during the ride. I was wondering if it would be possible to replace the real environment by a synchronized virtual ride. And, as I'm working as a professor at the University of Applied Sciences Kaiserslautern in the department of Virtual Design, I thought this could make for a great topic for this year's virtual reality project. At Mack Rides, they also saw the potential and entered this ground-breaking cooperation project with me and my students, providing us two roller coasters for research and testing (Blue Fire and Pegasus in Europa-Park). Then, on April 7th, we actually became VR coaster pioneers – being the very first people to experience an Oculus Rift VR-ride on a real roller coaster, synchronized to the real track. On that day, we all felt that we were laying the foundation of something very big.

Due to popular demand, we're showing some onride footage of the first VR Coaster demos for the "Blue Fire" roller coaster.
To create these early demonstration rides, assets from Blood Roofs and the upcoming 3D sequel to Spooky Hoofs have been used.
