392138 Projekt "Virtual Driving Simulator" (PjS) (SoSe 2017)

Contents, comment

Summary
A virtual driving simulator will be created with a dynamically adaptive landscape for studies on assistance systems for drivers.

Project Background & Aims
Assistance systems in the automotive industrie is one of the target areas of cognitive interaction technology. The design and evaluation of such systems, however, is difficult under realistic conditions. One approach, which shall be followed in this project, is the use of driving simulators to investigate user experience and to collect relevant data. The idea that is going to be tested in the project is that of an assistance system that follows the eye movements of the driver and may optimize the verbal instructions accordingly, depending on the objects or direction in the environment the driver is currently gazing at.

Project Description
The goal is to create a basic driving simulator with infinite landscapes that will allow us to implement studies to design and evaluate the automotive assistance functions. The simulation will make use of the HTC VIVE, a seat and a steering wheel. The HTC VIVE will be equipped with an eye tracking system. This will allow us to monitor the eye movements of the driver and provide verbal assistance in real-time that is adaptive to the current gaze focus of the driver.

The core/required features of the project are

  • Concept and 3D models of an infinite landscape (i.e. components that can be arranged to create seamless landscapes automatically)
  • Design and implementation of a basic driving simulator
  • Setup of corresponding hardware
  • Design and implementation of the eye tracking connection
  • Evaluation of the simulation
