COMS-VR: Mobile virtual reality entertainment system using electric car and head-mounted display

Development of a computer platform for visualisation and simulation of vehicular DC distribution systems

“…Despite the fact that user experience and efficient human–machine interfaces are of great significance in the automotive industry, only a few academic attempts to use VA in varying depth exist. So far they have been mostly engaged in the domain of computer‐aided‐design [22], artificial vision [23], vehicle collision [24, 25], engine multibody dynamics [26], virtual reality [27], aerodynamics [28], sensor data [29], and electric vehicle (EV) charging analysis [30]. Additionally to the previous references, it is worth highlighting the contributions performed in [20] regarding the systematic deployment of visualisation systems for vehicle communication networks in a large automotive company.…”

Challenges in passenger use of mixed reality headsets in cars and other transportation

“…The outcome of this could, for example, be turning your ordinary car journey into an exciting 100 KPH space battle, providing a more affective experience by using the vehicle as a motion platform. Kodama et al (2017) categorized the use of cars as motion platforms for VR content as being either (a) an active virtual drive system, meaning that the VR user controlled the car, with the experience in VR reflecting that of reality (effectively substitutional reality (Simeone et al 2015)); (b) a passive virtual drive system, meaning that the motion of the car was integrated into the VR experience, with content limited by the driving route, but the VR user exhibited no control over this (e.g. in autonomous cars/the passenger use case); (c) A content player system, whereby the motion of the car was synchronized with the VR environment.…”

“…Control over motion Ranging from active (full MR user control) to passive (no control, MR user is passenger). As noted by Kodama et al (2017), this is perhaps the most problematic factor, as there are clear safety concerns regarding how much control the user is given over the experience. However, envisioning a fully autonomous car where the virtual experience or user has some measure of control over acceleration (e.g.…”

“…Moreover, such experiences are unique to transit because they require some congruent Fig. 6 From left to right: (1) COMS-VR system, where VR users had control over vehicle acceleration (Kodama et al 2017; 2) VR-OOM driving simulator in-car (Goedicke et al 2018; 3) Turbulence from a simulated flight experienced on a virtual magic carpet ride, from the VR HYPERSPACE project (Soyka et al 2015; 4) A virtual helicopter game where movements in-game match the forces experienced during a real-world car journey, from the CarVR project (Hock et al 2017) element of reality to be incorporated, providing additional value to MR headset use beyond standard entertainment and productivity. However, a breadth of further research will be required to understand the design parameters for each of the factors identified.…”

Teaching and Learning Virtual Strategy for the Navigation of Multiple-UAV

“…Virtual reality applications immerse the user in different areas of skill development, e.g. medicine to perform laparoscopic surgery [4], to treat diseases such as claustrophobia [5], and even in the future doctor virtual consultations could be performed [6,7]; military (Real-time military simulation system) [8][9][10]; industry for the relevant data presentation from processes to the choice of raw material [11,12]; entertainment as game systems [13], and mainly in education as systems that allow improving the methodological learning processes for students [14]. Therefore, the use of virtual reality to satisfy an educational system became a need that must be addressed by incorporating several current technologies such as VR and ICTs.…”
