Japanese university to use FORUM8’s stereoscopic driving simulator

Forum8 has built and delivered what is said to be the world’s first five-screen 3D stereoscopic VR driving simulator for vehicle dynamics research and development, to Nagoya University in Japan. This simulator incorporates elements such as driving simulation, traffic micro-simulation and vehicle dynamics/performance, by building on the interactive nature of Forum8’s 3D VR software VR-Design Studio.

848 Forum8 has built and delivered what is said to be the world’s first five-screen 3D stereoscopic VR driving simulator for vehicle dynamics research and development, to Nagoya University in Japan.

This simulator incorporates elements such as driving simulation, traffic micro-simulation and vehicle dynamics/performance, by building on the interactive nature of Forum8’s 3D VR software VR-Design Studio.

It is able to monitor and record a range of human factors (perceptions and traits) through the use of mathematical models in conjunction with high-luminance and high-definition visual cues, realistic cockpit modules and a responsive motion platform.

Swedish rail operator Stockholmståg, which runs commuter services in and around the country’s capital, is claiming a world first with the introduction of its automated Pendelprognosen (commuter prognosis) service. Developed to enable the prediction of delays as much as two hours before they are likely to occur, this offers the operator the scope for much earlier remedial action than previously - for example by filling in the expe
