Entertainment System Using Small-Sized Electric Vehicle and Head-Mounted Display

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel virtual reality entertainment system using a car as a motion platform. The motion platform is usually installed in special locations such as theme park since it requires large cost and space. On the contrary, by using a car as a motion platform, it is already prevalent and it can be transported easily. We developed a prototype system based on the small-sized electric vehicle. Experiment with immersive contents showed that all users responded quite positively to the experience played on a small parking area.
