Glide
Our application, Glide, makes extreme sports like skydiving less dependent on environment, physical fitness, and guts. Glide lowers the barrier to participation in extreme sports like skydiving. It makes it easier for more people to participate and feel the joy of these sports. And reduce the risk of novice participation. This type of sport, which only a small percentage of people can participate in, can be shared with more people. We hope Glide could let people try more things without worries.
Problem Statement
Glide is a testing device created based on DevEdge from T-Mobile that users can carry on their bodies during skydiving. While they are skydiving, Glide will collect data from motion, GPS, temperature, and air pressure. We use bluetooth to connect with our computer. (Details about how the data was collected). Then, we put all the data in a database. This database includes data from all the people who skydive with the practical Glide. When users are not convenient for real skydiving, they can connect Glide's data to 4D chairs and VR glasses. Use the real skydiving data to experience the closest to reality scenario.
Application
More applications: Skydiving is just a start. Our application can use similar data to recreate other situations as well. It can be used for experience, training, and sharing.
Experience: Allow people with disabilities or are too afraid to experience an event to be able to have the same experiences minus the risks that are imposed by the actual event, such as skydiving.
Sharing: Saving the data, the experience can be emulated many times. After skydiving, people can exchange experiences of the event by experiencing what each other felt during the skydiving, and share wisdom.
Features
Inclusive: People with bodily disadvantages can experience the same experiences.
Range: Wide range of future applications.
Innovation: Different from products that exist, our application strives to record and recreate the memory for others to experience
