An Oculus Rift art exhibit shows wearers what it's like to swap bodies
http://www.theverge.com/2014/1/2…
Long-running performance art installation The Machine to be Another is a literal, perhaps radical take on the Oculus Rift's promise to let you simulate being anywhere or anyone. In what the artists call the "gender swap" experiment, two people stand in a room, each wearing a Rift headset. They agree on and synchronize their movements, rubbing hands over stomachs or taking off shoes. But while they feel their own bodies, they "see" out of each other's eyes.
