Clever Oculus Project Lets You Live Your Life In Third Person


Ever wished you could tap the 'Change Camera View' button in real life to switch to a 3rd Person view?


These guys made it happen. Sure, it requires the user to wear an Oculus Rift and a big ol' dual camera rig built into a backpack - and sure, it's probably only fun (and not nauseating) for about a minute. But it works!
