Design and evaluation of HUD for motorcycle using immersive simulator

Abstract

Since the motorcycle rider looks at the road surface constantly while driving the motorcycle, the information display must be designed by considering the visual characteristics of the rider. In this study, the HUD for the motorcycle was developed to display navigation information to the rider, and the immersive motorcycle simulator was constructed to conduct an evaluation experiment safely about the effective method of displaying information. In the experiment, the eye movement of the subject was measured using the eye-mark recorder and the detection time and the observation time were analyzed. From the results of the experiment, several knowledge about the effective position and the effective amount of displayed information were obtained.
