Tutorial on Rapid HCI Prototyping with a Virtual Reality Driving Simulator

Human factors research in automated driving is nowadays often conducted using either low-quality setups such as 2D monitors or highly expensive driving simulators with motion platforms. Furthermore, software for automated driving scenarios is often expensive and hard to modify for different scenarios. In order to overcome this drawback, we designed and implemented a low-cost, high-fidelity immersive prototyping solution by utilizing the recent advances in development of virtual reality: AutoWSD - Automated driving simulator for research on windshield displays.
