Here's a brief video (Quicktime required) of our new driving simulator in action. As noted before, the yaw (rotation) movement is a novel feature on a simulator this scale. I didn't have any students available to help me that morning, so I had to shoot it myself.
This video was shot with an iSight and captured with a demo version of iVeZeen.
Our new driving simulator at GMU is finally fully operational as of yesterday. It can now rotate 90º to the right and left, hopefully adding some strong motion-cues to participants when they turn. This feature is truly unique, let alone for a simulator this size. There's a small pitch-motion system as well to give drivers a sense of acceleration and braking feel.
A video of the simulator in action will be available soon. It's very cool! Now it's time to dive in with some experimental studies.
My lab got a short write-up in Mason's Gazette today. My student David and I did the photo shoot on Friday.
