Estimating the term…
A vertical wind tunnel skydiving simulator including a flight chamber entrance that has a curved air deflector that extends into a waiting chamber, in which a convex surface of the curved air deflector faces across or towards the flight chamber entrance or into the flight chamber, and extends into the waiting chamber a sufficient distance to substantially reduce the flow of turbulent air into the waiting chamber. The curved surface is at the top of the entrance and can also be at the sides. The shape the curved surface takes is sufficient to minimize the flow of turbulent air into the waiting chamber; the effect is to make it more comfortable and less noisy for people in the waiting area. This also helps to preserves the laminar, non-turbulent flow of air in the flying chamber, even across the flight chamber entrance. This makes flying more comfortable and predictable.
A wind tunnel skydiving simulator system to enable flyers to enjoy simulated skydiving, the system including a wind tunnel flight chamber and a virtual reality headset to be worn by a flyer, the system including one or more depth sensors, wherein the system is configured to detect objects in the flight chamber using the one or more depth sensors and to model the detected objects in the flight chamber to enable 3D reconstruction of the shape and movement of each object, wherein the virtual reality headset is configured to operate in the flight chamber to provide immersive images to the flyer wearing the headset, wherein the immersive images simulate the views that would be seen when skydiving in a real or virtual world.
A method of operating a wind tunnel skydiving simulator system including a flight chamber and one or more depth sensors, which enables flyers to enjoy simulated skydiving, including the steps of:
