To explore the potential role of the natural landscape in Computer Art, specifically Virtual Reality, I have designed and constructed a device that will simulate the experience of hang gliding. The viewer will be suspended in a harness from the device pictured below. Through a head-mounted display, he or she will be immersed in a computer-generated flight simulation through various natural landscapes. The controller will then regulate the fan speed ("wind") and the viewer's physical orientation based on the visual images.         INITIAL CONCEPT SKETCH             FLIGHT PATH       3D MODELS OF DESIGN       © 2002 RANDY RAMSEY.
