The virtual reality technologies, such as Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Mixed Reality are reviewed and the perspective of the driving simulator along with the technologies are discussed. Using the Head-mounted display “Oculus” and the stereo camera device “Ovrvision”, this paper introduces the MR-oriented driving simulator, in which the stereo camera image of the front view of the driver is processed by the chromakey technique to replace the green-screen with the computer graphics of the outer view of the driving car. This feature of the system will be rather useful for the simulators of bikes and bicycles, which require to show the view of all around, than that of cars.
