MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641048460 A) filed by DB Productions, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 16, for 'virtual reality-based parachute training simulator.'
Inventor(s) include Venkatakrishnan A; and Dhivyesh V.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A virtual reality-based parachute training simulator is disclosed comprising a head mounted display (101), a motorised suspension harness assembly (201, 202, 203) providing six degrees of freedom, physical parachute control interfaces (301-305), a haptic feedback subsystem (401), an audio-communication subsystem (501-503), a ceiling-mounted hand tracking camera with sensor fusion layer (601, 602), a computing subsystem (701-704), and an instructor control station (801). The simulator replicates the complete parachute operational sequence from pre-flight preparation to landing within a configurable virtual environment. Three novel features distinguish the invention: a dedicated Automatic Activation Device training module (1001) enabling trainee-configured altitude-threshold setting and automatic in-jump cut-away activation; a real-time instructor control station (801) with active malfunction injection and scenario override capability during live sessions without interruption; and a native structured training progression engine (1101) supporting systematic skill development from beginner to advanced levels with objective performance recording. The simulator is applicable to military, civilian, and international defence parachute training organisations."
