床上50センチの飛行イベント

－VRはハンググライダー，パラグライダーの普及活動をどう変えたか－

抄録

Although the hang glider is well known, few people have experienced it since one has to drive to suburban flight areas to try it. Nowadays, conventional flight exhibitions that include towing enable beginners to drop in at flight experience events in urban open spaces, including central Tokyo. To boost this urban exhibition, we designed an indoor hang glider virtual reality system that is easy, stable, and offers some of the most exciting flight experiences that hang gliders can ever have, regardless of the weather conditions. This system enabled to propagate the fascination with the hang glider for many people at the event even in urban Tokyo.
