SKYDIVING TRACKER: INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR FLIGHT DATA COLLECTION AND VIRTUAL REALITY SIMULATORS FOR IMPROVING SKYDIVING SAFETY

摘要

To provide an integrated skydiving safety/training system that improves skydiving by combining sensors, and hardware and software technologies.SOLUTION: The system dramatically improves training of skydivers and helps prevent the major causes of deaths during skydiving. The system offers innovative error-correction on low-cost trackers to collect flight data to improve debriefings after jumps for planeloads of jumpers and create an expert proprietary flight database with hundreds of jumps. The system plots the data on 3D interactive maps and a real-time radio version can track teams in the air or on the ground, and museums can use an interactive mapping option to display stunning tours of the earth and the moon.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
