Abstract:
This article describes the results of a study conducted on the dynamic driving simulator of the Volkswagen AG. The simulator was developed with the purpose of aiding the interior-concept evaluations from the drivers’ perspective. The special features are a combination of a variable mock-up, a head-mounted display visualization and a motion system. The aim of these experiments was to investigate the occurrence of simulator sickness symptoms and the sense of presence in different scenario classes and simulator variants. One hundred probands drove in one of three scenario classes (highway, rural roads, urban) with different complexity levels in two simulator variants (disabled and enabled motion system). The results illustrate that the occurrence of simulator sickness symptoms is affected by the complexity of the scenario. Furthermore, signs were identified that the motion cues in low and mid complex scenario classes (highway and rural roads) lead to simulator sickness symptoms reductions. In high complex (urban) scenarios the comparatively small motion system reached its limits. For the independent variable sense of presence the results show that there are signs that the extension with motion cues increase the feelings. The results reveal that for this variable the motion system has a bigger effect in more complex scenarios (urban).
