Glidin2 is an exciting, multiplayer arcade game which was adapted from ongoing research and development funded by the U.S. Navy to develop a virtual parachute descent procedures trainer. In the game, players are suspended in a hang glider canopy and use hand controls to navigate a powered paraglider through various fictional levels and environments, collecting coins and racing through a sequence of in-air checkpoints.
Glidin2 teaches basic maneuvering techniques for operation of a paraglider. The hand controls on the system closely match those used on many Navy parachute configurations, allowing for transfer of skill if necessary.
The goal is to navigate the environment successfully by maneuvering the paraglider to fly through rings and collect items. A time challenge can be played in which players with the fastest times enter onto the leader-board.
