Technical Visit 1

VTI’s human-in-the-loop simulation facilities

During the study visit, participants will get to learn about simulator facilities at VTI and take a tour around VTI’s moving-base driving simulator with linear motion in both longitudinal and lateral directions. If the time allows, a few participants may get to experience the simulator by driving it themselves.

Technical Visit 6

TECHNICAL VISIT TO VOLVO CARS IN REVERE LAB: AUGMENTED-REALITY HEAD-UP DISPLAY

Come and see a full-car demo of a user study performed earlier this year as a Master’s Thesis, within the SCREENS II research project: “Interaction Design of Augmented Reality Head-Up Displays and Its Impact on Driver Behaviour”

You will see a demo of how we did an on-road user study of an Augmented-Reality Head-Up Display in a car by using a Wizard-of-Oz research methodology and an eye-tracking system for studying driver behavior.
