All the gamers from around the world are already pretty psyched up about the new PS4 and Xbox One gaming consoles, I know you do too. But, those consoles are nothing compared to Oculus Rift, the innovative virtual reality head-mounted display that lets you step inside the games. As it turns out, this awesome gadget can do more than just gaming.

A group of Swedish folks at Intuitive Aerial have found a new way to fly without wings.. Well, sort of. These guys have combined the Oculus Rift with a drone, allowing the pilot to enjoy the view like he’s actually inside the drone via the the camera on-board. According to Geek.com, they were only been able to reach a height of 50 to 100 meters due to limited 802.11n WiFi reach.

This looks really cool. And would have been cooler if that drone can maneuver by turning our head and like take pictures upon voice commands. With the way things going, I think it will be possible soon.

Check out the awesome flying action on the video.
