SkydiVR - Skydiving Virtual Reality Kit

DROP ZONE SELECTION

Access to relevant landmarks and landing areas for your students. Select the DZ you want to jump into. We have many and are adding new ones all the time. You can request a quote for us to produce your Drop Zone in VR.

CANOPY SELECTION

Experience how different canopies perform under the same conditions. Fly our Student and Pro canopies. Canopies from the industry’s top manufacturers coming soon.

WIND SELECTION

Practice your canopy navigation skills. Set the wind speed and direction at 3000 feet (914 meters) and on the ground. Our algorithm (patent pending) calculates realistic parachute ground speed. Windsocks on the ground and a column of smoke help you understand ground winds during your flight.

OPENING POINT SELECTION

Get a sense of how to make the wind your friend. Select your opening point (where you start flying) to allow for wind conditions. Beginners can choose their opening orientation or like a real parachute jump: random opening orientation.

COMPETITIONS

For yourself or as a team, competition adds fun and increases skills.. Prove you can do the most accurate and soft landing.

FLY WITH ROBOTS

Practice sharing the airspace with others. Experience flying with other canopies. Our robots are recordings of previous jumps done. But be aware: they cannot see you.
