Become a Bird with the FlyJacket

Is the time where humans can fly finally here??? Sorry but despite how it may sound in the title, no. The FlyJacket is actually just a VR headset and soft upper-body exoskeleton that you can wear to control a drone. When you wear this exoskeleton, you spread your wings like a bird and your body movements would control the drone. The exoskeleton detects bending forward/backwards and bending sideways, and the company wants to further improve this by allowing users to control the speed of the drone. Wait- why can't you just use a controller to control the drone? Well, according to the company, it is much more effective and easier to control than a traditional controller. The goal of the researchers is to make this into a commercial product, so they are keeping their materials relatively cheap and affordable. So, in the near future, you may be able to fly like a bird! Virtually.
