Students wear the VR glasses while suspended in a parachute harness, and then learn to control their movements through a series of computer-simulated scenarios. The computer receives signals from the student as they pull on the risers that control the parachute. The VR trainer also teaches aircrew personnel how to handle a parachute in different weather conditions and during possible equipment malfunctions.

Hospital Corpsman Second Class Tim Sudduth, 27 from Vashowish, Wash., demonstrates the "VR" parachute trainer. Students wear the VR glasses and are suspended in a harness where they learn to control their computer-simulated parachute in various scenarios. Aviation Survival Equipmentmen First Class, Jackie Hilles, from Ekland, Penn., controls the programs via a computer, which is loading the program to the VR glasses. The inputs are received from the student by pulling on the risers that control the parachute. The VR trainer also teaches aircrew how a parachute will react in different possible malfunctions and how to control it..(Photo by PHC(NAO) Chris Desmond COMNAVCRUITCOM)
