The London Pigeon Simulator
Who among us hasn’t fancied being a pigeon for a day, if mainly for their flying skills rather than their questionable hygiene. Fortunately there’s now a solution that doesn’t involve some kind of improbable science project or a cast-off from the Bird Man Competition: the Pigeon Simulator . Developed by George Mackerron, a researcher at UCL, the simulator is an ingeniously simple marrying of Google Earth with the motion-detection capabilities of a Microsoft Kinect. The latter device captures the user’s motions, such as leaning forward, flapping their ‘wings’ and so forth, and feeds the movement into Google Earth.Motion capture data BVH tools and files
