VIRTUAL DRIVING SIMULATION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING SENSATION OF IMMERSION THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17889223 titled 'VIRTUAL DRIVING SIMULATION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING SENSATION OF IMMERSION THEREFOR

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a virtual driving simulation device and method that aims to improve the sensation of immersion in a virtual environment. The device includes a microphone for measuring 3D sound and a processor for recording and analyzing the sound. The processor uses higher-order ambisonics (HOA) encoding and decoding to reproduce the recorded sound and analyze its influence on the sensation of immersion.

  • The device is a virtual driving simulation device that enhances the sensation of immersion in a virtual environment.
  • It includes a microphone for measuring 3D sound and a processor for recording and analyzing the sound.
  • The processor uses higher-order ambisonics (HOA) encoding and decoding to reproduce and analyze the recorded sound.
  • The device aims to improve the sensation of immersion by analyzing the influence of sound realization on the virtual driving experience.

Potential Applications

  • Virtual reality driving simulators
  • Entertainment and gaming industry
  • Training and education for driving skills

Problems Solved

  • Lack of realistic sound experience in virtual driving simulations
