A Concept For A Virtual Reality Driving Simulation In Combination With A Real Car

Abstract

Autonomous driving has been developed since the 1980s and grown faster in recent years. However, the human-machine interaction for autonomous driving (in all forms of semi, highly or fully autonomous) is still under development. Driving simulation is still the most practical way of conducting research and evaluates the research outcome with less effort and danger. In order to increase the driver's feeling when using driving simulation, virtual reality helps to create the virtual world with a 360-degree view and 6 degrees of freedom movement. This paper presents our concept and the initial work we have done in the area of increasing the level of immersion of virtual reality driving simulation with a real car.
