Ace Academy: Flight Experience
Using motion-sensing technology, players can try their hand at piloting a First World War aircraft. Moving their arms up and down and tilting their bodies, they will be handling an onscreen version of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum’s Sopwith Ship Camel biplane, while dodging enemy aircraft and lining themselves up to fire.
