Just last week, I had a great conversation with a Manhattan taxi driver named Sherpa, who, after I asked if his name was connected to Nepal, told me that he had indeed stopped working on Mount Everest to live in New York City. Smiling, he suggested I visit the famed (and quite dangerous) mountain one day, to which I replied, "I'm a fragile city guy, maybe one day I'll visit it in virtual reality."
Days after that conversation (yes, it really happened), it turns out that there is, in fact, an incredibly realistic Mount Everest VR experience that launched for the Oculus Rift.
