Disadvantages Of Head Up Display

Virtual reality systems are used for simulating different real life situations on the computer which looks approximately same as the real world. In these tools, user need to wear some special cloths which has sensors attached, these sensors observe and record all the activities and responses of the user. These tools are very useful in training of many technologies like in pilot training of Boeing dreamliner, or some new technology etc.

204 participants agreed to install video cameras and sensors in their vehicles for thirty-one days in a row, while providing their phone records for analysis. The results from the study showed that driving performance is directly influenced by how well drivers visually attend to the road. This visual attention is required in order to be aware of events as they occur. When the driver is distracted by looking at and manipulating a hands-held phone, their visual attention is substantially affected (NHTSA,

Many levels of driver distraction are there depending on how it influences and impacts on the driver performance and accident hazard in different possible manners. Driving performance depends on various interrelated factors: ability of the user, experience of the user, driving task complexity, design and the activities with in-vehicle technologies. Performance of driving are defined in terms of following three measures:

In this article, Peters and Peters discuses about the risk of multitasking while driving. Not only they propose a problem, but also tries to give the reader an alternative ways of preventing the cause of an accident. He gives us three-risk factors that can reduce the chances of getting into an accident. They suggest having a printed and audible warning to warn the drivers not to use the device unless the vehicle is not moving, an integrated system “which all device are either shut off or out of driver’s sight when the vehicle is in motion” and finally, “ marketing and dealer restraint”. If these warnings are available in the vehicle, there should be a less chance to be distracted and cause an accident and also, this can be useful thing to create in the vehicle to remind the driver not to multitask while

Every year there are hundreds of car accidents that are directly related to some style of electronic device distracting people in cars driving and sadly the death rate keeps increasing as more technology is developed. For many people the use of their cell phone is a way to keep in contact with their friends or business partners. This technology advancement has started a problem with people trying to multitask behind the driver’s wheel which has been shown to increase the distraction level of the driver. Most car users now own a global positioning system which does allow driver to get to their destination fast and safer but if used at the wrong time can be a major distraction and

The distractions of driving are a popular area of research. Recent studies have looked at what distracts drivers and what other failures of awareness may contribute to traffic accidents. The goal of this paper is to look at research and explain how change blindness can possibly effect driving.

Step #3: At no time do you allow the driver to exit his vehicle. It is

Tech gadgets aren't the only driving distractions. Eating, drinking, and searching for things in your cab are yet other ways of taking your eyes, hands, and mind away from your driving. How can the commercial or owner

Generally speaking the items taken into account as vehicle speed, RPM, and throttle position as well as many other parameters. More recently developers to begin using accelerometer and global positional systems (GPS) to provide feedback to the driver (Jensen). Yet another critical component of safe driving is the human-vehicle interface (HVI), very similar to the human computer interface/ interaction (HCI). HVI is used to produce sounds, visual aids, and other forms of feedback such as the haptic steering wheel to alert the vehicle operator of the roadway conditions (traffic, construction environment, pedestrians). Since automobiles are operated by single individuals, the primary means of receiving feedback are visual. Since the introduction of HVI “the cost for real-time control systems decreases” and the new safety features provide information that hopes to improve decision-making response time (Jensen).

The main idea of this article was to experiment the different causes of driving distractions in order to narrow down what affects drivers the most. Participants ranging from 18 to 30 were separated into 3 groups. In these groups, 1 group will be tested by having a conversation on the phone, another group will be holding phones, and the last group will be listening to the radio (all while driving). After the experiment was conducted, the authors justified that the groups who were holding phones and having a conversation missed twice as many simulated traffic signals than the radio group. The radio group was barely affected while testing. Moreover, this article is credible because the authors majored in psychological science at the University

The findings revealed that when drivers’ converse through the hands free, they failed to react, and unsuccessfully decelerate earlier to unforeseen hazards. These drivers are more likely to crash and in addition had no memory of the hazard afterwards. McCarley et al. (2004) explains that this distraction reduces the ability of the driver notice the changing traffic condition even when directly staring at the

The HMD could even track the user’s head movements so that the field of view would change appropriately as the user looked around.

In terms of specific applications VR can be usefully applied when building homes for disabled people. For example, those whose movements are restricted solely to a wheelchair may require larger hallway space for maneuverability and lower bench heights in the kitchen. These can easily be rectified before the house is built. Thus minimising on post-production changes which may be costly. I3 (Interactive Information Institute) is the RMIT VR 'showpiece'. It features a 150 degree wide screen which occupies the entire field of vision of the viewer. Instead of mounting a head display unit the environment is shared. I3 feature an architectural 'fly-through' of the Docklands planned area for development. This allows the user to view buildings from a multitude of different angles, and ascertain an improved idea of the finished product.

It is now a familiar, but true, cliché to observe that the power and capability of computing machinery is increasing at a tremendous rate. In addition, a wide variety of techniques for producing more convincing VR are currently being researched. It is reasonable to expect, therefore, that in this crucial respect VR

Seeing is believing, these words are the best combination to understand the meaning of Virtual Reality (VR). VR is one of the best asset and aspect of our future. No other technology has seen such a revolution like VR has. It is practically in use in almost every field such as entertainment, gaming, defense, robotics, medical, healthcare, military, education, fashion, heritage, business, engineering and many more fields. VR sometimes called Virtual Environment has drawn much attention in the last two decade. Extensive media coverage causes the much more rapid increase in the interest of the masses. Very few people, however, really know what VR is and what are its open problems are. In this report a historical overview of virtual reality is presented, basic terminology as an introduction are listed, followed by applications of this technology in science, work, and entertainment areas. Its present developments are thoroughly discussed in this report. Finally, the future of VR is considered in two aspects: technological and social. New research directions, technological frontiers and potential applications are pointed out. The possible positive and negative influence of VR on life of average people is speculated.
