Development and Evaluation of a Virtual Reality Driving Simulator
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work presents the design and set-up of a virtual reality driving simulator for development and evaluation of future automotive HMI concepts. The Oculus Rift based virtual reality driving simulation described in this work is an immersive 3D virtual reality simulator, which gives the driver a near-realistic driving experience. Oculus Rift is a low-latency 360° head tracking virtual reality head-mounted-display which offers a fully immersive 3D experience in virtual environments. It was developed in Unity3D engine and tested in a user experience evaluation in order to determine its level of immersion and the possible use of that technology for the development of future automotive HMI concepts.

متن کاملImmersive Virtual Reality Simulation as a Tool for Aging and Driving Research
The aging process is associated with changes to many tasks of daily life for older adults, e.g. driving. This is particularly challenging in rural areas where public transportation is often non-existent. The current study explored how age affects driving ability through use of an immersive virtual reality driving simulator. Participants were required to respond to typical driving events: stop‐ ...

In this article, an experimental procedure is presented in order to evaluate the role of having HMD oculus and (Eco2 driving simulator) in terms of driving simulation sickness. The driving simulation sickness is investigated with respect to SSQ (simulator sickness questionnaire) and vestibular dynamics (head movements) of the driver participants for a specific driving scenario. The scenario of ...
