While this may seem impressive at first glance, I’d like to make a few points. 1. You can do the first half of the video on just about any smartphone.

Jamie has put together a really cute little video of all kind of fun clips from his time during the filming of Camelot and set it to music.

Computer-aided design is a great way to build products, but does it let you bust a funky move while wearing some crazy glasses and gloves? Heck no. You need Lockheed Martin’s CHIL for that. It’s the Collaborative Human Immersive Laboratory, virtual reality goggles and gloves combined with motion capture enabling teams of engineers to work together in a virtual space. You can see it in action below, used first for installing polygonal munitions into a rendered version of one of the company’s F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, then for doing a little VR tai chi.
