The Kite Sim is a realistic kitesurfing simulator with a dedicated rig to enable beginners to learn the ropes.

This was my first freelance job. The Kite Sim itself had already been in development for quite some time. I was brought in to optimize the simulation system, and to prototype VR support with the use of the Oculus Rift. I succeeded in both of these tasks. The kite physics simulation was offloaded to a separate thread, allowing the application to hit the required framerate for the VR implementation.
