I’m just sitting here, thinking about this documentary “Touching the Sky”—yep, a wild ride brought to you by Red Bull and Jonathan Griffith Productions. Now, don’t ask me why, but the image of damp cardboards skidding across ice is what comes to mind when I think of those wingsuits swooshing through the Alps. Weird, huh?
So, you slap on a VR headset like Quest, and bam—you’re knee-deep in the scene. Imagine tagging along with the wingsuit duo Fred Fugen and Vincent Cotte. They pull off these insane jumps in the Italian Dolomites. Man, those custom-built 3D, 360 cams are no joke. Trying to sync up with drone pilots mid-freefall? Talk about next-level coordination. Fred was all like, “We didn’t practice much before, but yeah, here we are trying not to collide mid-air.” Casual.
Meanwhile, over in the Pakistani Himalayas, Aaron Durogati and his buddy Matthias Weger are off doing their own thing, gliding above monstrous peaks. The thermals out there? Phew, one-of-a-kind and risky. Imagine getting stuck up there… yeah, not many rescue choppers ready to pluck you out. He mentioned something about how the Alps are basically a safety net compared to the wilds of Pakistan. Makes you think.
Anyway—wait, see, I lost my train of thought. Right, this doc is free to watch on Meta Quest TV. Sure, only if you own a Quest 2 or something similar. And hey, if you’re curious about the nitty-gritty of shooting all this awesome action, there’s a behind-the-scenes bit. Thirty minutes of chaos and tech tinkering.
So, yeah, it’s a thing. Whether you’re into heart-pounding dives or just feeling a gust of wind through a headset, this one might just take you places. Or at least make you appreciate solid ground a little more. Or not. Who knows?
