Take an old idea and mix it with VR, with Oculus Rift, and it becomes new and exciting again. That's what exciting tech does.Case in point: flight sims - Star Wars flight sims. You don't need omni-directional treadmills to replicate sitting in a $#@!pit, but when you're actually sitting in that $#@!pit, looking out of the windows at the surface of the Death Star and replicating the trench run Luke Skywalker pulls off at the end of A New Hope - well, that's gold.Developer Boone Calhoun knew all this, of course, which is why he made the Trench Run demo for Oculus Rift (via Rock, Paper, Shotgun).
