拡張現実を用いた福祉車両の操縦支援システム

抄録

Recently, welfare vehicles are widely used among patients and elders. However, it is not easy for inexperienced users to control the welfare vehicle precisely in narrow places such as elevators and narrow corridors. In this paper, driving assistance system for the welfare vehicle using Augmented Reality (AR) is proposed. It is supposed that cognitive ability from the perspective view point is enhanced by using AR. First, a virtual platoon control is outlined with a virtual preceding vehicle and a real following vehicle; a virtual preceding vehicle projected on Head Mount Display (HMD) is steered virtually, and the real vehicle of user is followed so as to drive precisely. Finally, the effectiveness using the assistance system with AR is evaluated by a driving experiment in narrow space.
