We developed this car driving simulator for Aegon Insurance company (based on the idea of Uniomedia).
Thanks to our solution, anyone can experience the dangers of texting while driving – without the risk of injuries.
The driver sits into the simulator, puts on the HTC Vive VR HMDs, and has to drive a virtual car through a city – while s/he sees a mobile phone attached to a cantilever, next to the steering wheel. From time to time, this mobile phone alerts the driver with messages, that s/he has to answer – while tackling with traffic situations, such as dodging road constructions, avoiding a crash with other cars, and so on.
In reality, these challenging situations can only be solved, if the driver concentrates fully on the road – without gazing at his phone.
VR Simulators like that, provides a perfect solution for training people on different grounds (work safety, fire safety, machine handling etc) without the risk of injury, in a cost effective manner.
