Antigravity And Digital Stick Launch VR World Travel Project
The pairing puts consumer drone hardware and 8K aerial footage into a welfare channel Digital Stick has spent years building, and the September 2026 trials are the point where that reach gets tested outside care homes.

Antigravity, the drone brand incubated by Insta360, is partnering with the General Incorporated Association Digital Stick on a VR World Travel project. Antigravity will supply the Antigravity A1 360-degree drone and 8K 360-degree aerial footage from around the world, while Digital Stick brings its ties to elderly care facilities and local governments. Trials in the welfare field begin in September 2026, with expansion to local governments and community events to follow.
Digital Stick has run VR simulated travel sessions for elderly people who have difficulty going out since it was established in 2014, working with care facilities and local governments. Participants wear Antigravity's Vision Goggles, which adjust the 360-degree field of view to head movement, while footage shot by partners around the world supplies the destinations.
Plans call for the experience to move beyond welfare facilities into local government programs and community multi-generational exchange events. Antigravity says its aim is to deliver the sensation of flying to more people.
