abstract = {This paper reports on the findings of an investigation comparing driver performance, distance and speed perception, simulator sickness incidence, and drivers' gaze behaviour between a conventional largeprojection system and cutting-edge Head-Mounted Display (HMD) technology within a dynamic mid-size driving simulator. A total of 39 validated datasets yielded results indicating that utilizing an HMD on a motion-based driving simulator platform does not increase the risk of simulator sickness or cybersickness relative to conventional large-projection systems. Distance perception and immersion levels were found to be similar between both display types. Regarding gaze behaviour, differences were observed in the number of glances and gaze transition entropy, while other metrics remained comparable. In terms of objective driving performance, the use of an HMD resulted in a higher number of steering reversals, suggesting increased steering corrections. Additionally, drivers using the HMD exhibited a slightly higher average speed, driving approximately 4 kph faster than those using the conventional projection system. These findings contribute to the ongoing evaluation of HMDs in dynamic driving simulators and highlight their potential for providing an immersive experience without compromising driver performance or evaluation capabilities.},
