Review: Virtual reality allows us to try and do things we would never do in real life. One of those things I would never do is a Skydive so imagine my joy at being able to do it in the comfort of my swivel chair. Made by Gravity Jack, it is a 360º video experience of some of their own staff doing a skydive. But if I have never done one, how do I know it looks like the real thing?!?

Well, it certainly looks scary, but it is also quite blurry which doesn’t make for a great video. But given that this was a skydive you can forgive the jumpy, blurry camera. It just doesn’t work as a 360 video and would have been better made in CGI. But until someone comes up with that this app will have to do for skydive fans everywhere.
