Virtual Reality in Exposure Therapy allows exposing patients to simulations of feared situations, even in cases where actual exposure is not possible or difficult. We have created a Web application that helps therapists performing this type of therapy when dealing with patients that suffer from anxiety of crossing road tunnels. The application contains a set of animations of virtual scenarios recreating...
TechViz has been a supporter of Formula Student at KIT for several years reflecting the companys long-term commitment to enhance engineering and education by providing students with powerful VR system software to connect curriculum to real-world applications. Incorporating immersive visualisation and interaction environment into Formula Student vehicle design is proven to deliver race day success,...
We propose an indirect-vision, video-see-through augmented reality (AR) cockpit that uses telexistence technology to provide an AR enriched, virtually transparent view of the surroundings through monitors instead of windows. Such a virtual view has the potential to enhance driving performance and experience above conventional glass as well as head-up display equipped cockpits by combining AR overlays...
Discomfort glare is considered to have some influence on a person's driving performance, but its effects are not well understood. It is likely that discomfort glare may irritate and distract one's visual system during driving. In our everyday driving tasks, we must pay attention to visual information on the road to ensure driving safety, not only in the central visual field, but also in the periphery...
In order to analyze and design vehicle control system, a virtual reality simulation platform suitable for different types of vehicles is developed using VC++ and Vega. The platform has the function of visual simulation for vehicles with no joint, multi-joint vehicles and multi-body systems. The observer in Vega can revolve round the player and zoom in/out. Non-real-time and real-time data association...
To solve the problem that traffic safety risks is difficult to identify and compare quantitatively for the new road or accident black spots, the virtual simulation tests (VST) system is put forward combined the numerical simulation. The driver module on vehicle speed control, the vehicle dynamic network solution module, traffic environment 3D model, traffic safety management and control module, human-vehicle-road...
This paper presents a vehicle driving simulator system with a traffic oriented visual modeler and a novel human-computer interaction way. Especially, the driving is based on mixed reality technology which is equipped with a webcam and a paper printed with controlling markers. Then the paper is used as the virtual wheel to control the motion of the vehicle. At such low cost, many people can enjoy the...
To avoid dizzy feeling caused by the conflict between visual and vestibular systems, an integrated model that includes models of both vestibular and visual motion sensation and incorporates the nonlinear interaction between the vestibular and visual stimuli. Models for both rotational and translational motion were developed, producing responses that explain the characteristics of self-motion. Based...
With the development of educational technology, more and more modern science and technology begins to be applied in teaching and training. Based on introduction of the definition and characters of virtual reality (VR) technology, the VR technology was introduced into the field of teaching and training. The application circumstance of VR in teaching and training was also discussed. Using VR technology,...
In order to improve the ability of driver that stops at the platform accurately and deals with the emergencies rapidly, the virtual environment of platform and vehicle should be created. The driver can observe the situation of platform and the intuitionistic process that passengers get on or off the train through it. In the paper, it was introduced the simulation system of metro platform based on...
In this paper, it is shown that synthetic images can be used to test specific use cases of a lane tracking algorithm which has been developed by Audi AG. This was achieved by setting up a highly configurable and extendable simulation framework ldquovirtual test driverdquo. The main components are a traffic simulation, visualization and a sensor model which supplies ground truth data about the street...
The objective of vehicle driving simulator's design is to provide a high-fidelity, immersive virtual environment, while maintaining a high degree of flexibility and reconfigurability. In this study, the vehicle driving simulator has been established, composed of the following components: vehicle dynamic model (motion controller), visual scene, scenario editor, driving cab, sound device, and hydraulic...
This paper presents a virtual prototyping (VP) system for digital fabrication of automobile environment to facilitate rapid visibility evaluation. The system comprises a suite of software packages for image generation and hardware control processes, including driving environment simulation, vision examination, integrated with eye-tracking and position tracing system based virtual reality (VR) technology...
This paper presents an architecture to support fast prototyping of augmented reality systems, based on virtual reality. The architecture defines simulation services separated from other aspects of the system. These services support incremental evolution of simulated prototypes into nonsimulated systems. Focus is also placed on user interaction,through the definition of an interaction architecture...
