Donning the protective gear, I found myself standing on a dizzying jump ramp. I bent my knees and took a stance, and the thought crossed my mind: "Thank goodness it's VR. I wonder how the athletes manage this."

Ski jumping is a type of skiing sport where athletes "fly through the air" and land on their feet. Depending on the event, they descend from heights of 90 to 120 meters at speeds of up to 80 kilometers per hour, relying on helmets and skis. The video was produced in both CG and 360-degree VR.

The ski jump simulator is part of the "Realistic Media Industry" project of the Ministry of Science and ICT, which Wizard ran from 2013 to 2016. "Although it's VR content, we've increased the immersion of the VR video by making it feel like you're actually flying," said Kim Seong-wook, director of Wizard, adding that they plan to expand their VR flight experience videos in the future.
