VR in the sky is better than VR in your home

I'm watching someone on the edge of a helicopter as he counts down with his hands. Three, two, one, and we leap. Instead, I fall forward into an iFly indoor skydiving wind tunnel and I start to float. This is all happening at indoor skydiving facility, iFly in Union City, California. This week the company introduced its virtual reality flying experience to 28 of the company's 37 locations. In addition to the usual float-above-a-giant-fan, patrons can now put on a VR helmet for about $20 more than the usual cost of about $70 (prices are determined by region) and experience what it's like to leap out of an aircraft above Hawaii, Dubai, Southern California and the Alps.
