VR Parachute Simulator

VR Unity XR Interaction Toolkit Physics

Overview

VR simulation focused on realistic freefall dynamics and canopy control. Implements aerodynamic drag modeling, glide tuning, and rope‑handle steering mapped to hand controllers. Comfort settings and motion thresholds reduce sickness for longer sessions.

Key Contributions

Dynamic drag and lift model that responds to posture and canopy state.
Rope handle steering with XR Interaction Toolkit (grab, pull magnitude → turn rate).
Glide/flare control and landing profiles; configurable mass/area parameters.
Performance budget kept stable on standalone VR hardware.

Freefall — body posture affects drag & terminal velocity.

Canopy open — glide tuning and flare control.

Handles — Rope handle steering mapped to both hands.
