Here’s a video/costume rig that lets you watch yourself run around in the third person like you were in a video game. Apparently it’s also necessary to wear a Rollerball outfit and spiked helmet while you do this in a public park on a sunny day.

Bueys wanted the Kassel project to extend throughout the world as part of a global mission to affect environmental and social change.
The Mattes started their work exactly 25 years later, planting the first tree and stone on March 16th, 2007, on Cosmos Island in Second Life. The Mattes…
