57 Innovative Simulations

From Fake Jail Cells to Skydiving Simulations

— May 9, 2009 — Tech
With so many innovative simulations, who needs reality? That seems to be the scary question some people feel younger generations might begin asking as they grow up being totally immersed with technology, specially with video games that recreate reality in the comfort of their own homes.

This cluster highlights some of the most innovative simulations featured on Trend Hunter, from virtual reality caves to skydiving elevators. We've even seen girlfriend simulators and simulated out of body experiences.
