Hang Gliding Simulator

We will design and build a virtual reality based hang gliding simulator capable of supporting up to two people. We also plan to design in space for upgrades to allow disabled people to experience hang gliding; and the simulator to be used for training purposes.

Derek Schelthy

I am 23 years old and am from Castlegar B.C. I moved to Victoria to pursue my education towards mechanical engineering and am hoping to continue through the bridge program to UVIC once this semester is finished. I have always been interested in physics and how the world works which drove me towards engineering. I decided to go with mechanical engineering because I would love to design and manufacture something that I can put out into the world. That is why I am excited to be working on the hang glider simulator and be the CAD manager for the project.

Matthew Purse

I am 25 years old, and from Victoria. I enjoy building, either small or large projects. I also enjoy programming: predominantly with Excel and it is a goal of mine to learn Python. My enjoyment of building is what made me choose the mechanical engineering program. My proficiency with Excel is why I chose to be the group accountant.

Specific Mechanical Systems

vWing is a start-up company that provides a flying experience aided with virtual reality technology. Our hang glider device allows people to simulate piloting a hang glider in a safe, non-weather-dependent manner. Users feel that they are really flying but under the safe and comfortable conditions of being on the ground. The product is under development aiming to build a professional simulator for training purposes.
