It&#8217;s a skydiving simulator created by Instrument, a Portland tech startup. We finally got to see it action at Google I\/O, and yours truly even gave it a shot. They created this simulator using Google Maps and it&#8217;s pretty darn cool. Don&#8217;t worry, everyone will get a chance to try it out because it will land on Chrome Experiments soon. When that happens, you won&#8217;t use your body, but you will be able to use your tablet&#8217;s accelerometer to control the skydiver that&#8217;s on your desktop. Hit the break for the video and to find out why I never took up skydiving.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-162386\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a  href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/162386-hands-on-with-the-map-diving-simulator-at-google-io\/\"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Come comment on this article: <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/162386-hands-on-with-the-map-diving-simulator-at-google-io\/\">Hands on with the Map Diving simulator at Google I\/O<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:right;\"><small>Visit <a  rel=\"dofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/\">TalkAndroid for Android news<\/a>, <a  rel=\"dofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.talkandroid.com\/guides\/\">Android guides<\/a>, and much more!<\/small><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/AndroidNewsGoogleAndroidForums\/~4\/7oi9MYsTh-A\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We told you about Map Diving last week.
