The Shard<\/a>also known as the Shard London Bridge, is a skyscraper in London's Southwark district that, at 310 metres, was the tallest building in Europe from July to October 2012 and is still currently the tallest building in the EU.<\/p>\n

Tech Inside had pimped the tourist attraction with a VR experience that was obviously hilarious. The application was unfortunately only accessible for a limited time, but since it looks extremely cool, we don't want to deprive you of it.<\/p>\n

The visitors sit down on a kind of shell that moves. In VR, they were on a slide at a dizzying height and hurtled down the building on a track at about 100 km\/h. Another application had the visitors balance on a board while in VR they felt as if they were on a scaffold on the building. Another application had the visitors balance on a narrow board, while in VR they had the feeling of being on a scaffold on top of The Shard.<\/p>\n

Those who wanted to try out the wild roller coaster or the Plank application certainly didn't need a fear of heights - if only to get to the Skydeck, where the application can be found until 4 August - and then strong nerves for the speedy ride or the tightrope walk. It is to be hoped that the experiment will be taken further.<\/p>\n
