Description:

Creating a Virtual Reality world in Unity 3D, which will include a model of a RAM air parachute system viewed from the perspective of its pilot, during the flight towards the landing area and during landing. The model will receive (via a UDP protocol) continuous user inputs of the steering toggles position and must update the canopy's orientation and position relative to the inertial world. This project can be developed into a master's research focusing on VR training of canopy control.
