You'd love the Virtual Reality course..

I'm almost done making at work.. I patterned it after Richie's Plank Experience because we needed a similar sim, but with more of a military vibe.. In my sim, you walk into an elevator, hit the Up button and the glass doors close, Girl from Ipenema is playing, you go up about 25 floors, doors open and a plank is staring at you.. there are several tools on the plank.. your job is to walk out and pick them up.. Birds are flying around you, a helicopter flies by, and clouds are moving overhead..

Whenever you pick up a tool, it triggers an animation.. in one animation an F-16 buzzes you, another triggers cars below.. you have the option to make it rain while on the plank.. then you hafta ride back down, of if you prefer, just jump off the plank.. Its funny cuz we've literally had people walk the plank on all fours. shaking like a leaf.. its really pretty cool and you really feel like you are 25 floors up...

I made the sim to test students who are going into electronics here - students who hafta climb up power poles and whatnot.. Reason being, they'd be in classes for several months and then instructors would realize they were afraid of heights and would have to change career fields.. So, now we make 'em walk the plank and if they show fear, they usually go into a different career field before wasting months of training.. Here's a screen grab as I have it open right now.. The red arrow indicates the plank..
