Abstract
One method of learning to drive, like operating a car, is to adopt a simulation approach with a strong focus on game elements. In our research, we developed the ProjectStir application, a car driving simulator that uses this game-centric approach. The app immerses users in a virtual representation of Asia’s urban environments known for their narrow streets. It is able to assess driver performance by tracking the number of checkpoints collected and the level of damage incurred. Additionally, the app features a leaderboard, highlighting that hitting more checkpoints and minimizing damage will result in a better ranking. ProjectStir is compatible with the PC platform and can be operated using a joystick, keyboard or steering wheel.
