Abstract:
We present the results of a study where the physical transition into the driving simulator was masked by a virtual experience. Our main hypothesis was that participants should experience a higher sense of presence in the simulator when their entering the physical environment of the driving simulator is masked by a virtual experience that shows a transition from the real starting room to the car, combined with storytelling, but conceals the driving simulator itself. To confirm this hypothesis, we performed a comparative, between-subjects user study, in which two groups were examined while they used a driving simulator: one group experienced a virtual transition while walking to the simulator; the other group only walked to the driving simulator before starting the driving simulation. The user study evaluation showed that participants who experienced the virtual transition tended to feel a higher sense of presence. In addition, we found evidence in the behavior and subjective response that the virtual transition influenced the participants. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of their driving behavior. Ultimately, the results of this user study show that virtual transition technology has considerable potential for the user studies implemented in driving simulators.
