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 enhances the sensation of immersion in a virtual environment. Here are the simplified explanations and bullet points:
- The invention is a device and method to improve the immersion sensation in a virtual driving simulation.
- It includes a microphone to measure 3D sound and a processor to record and analyze the sound.
- The recorded 3D sound is reproduced using higher-order ambisonics (HOA) encoding and decoding.
- The analysis of the sound realization influence helps in realizing the sensation of immersion.
Potential Applications
- Virtual reality driving simulators
- Training and education for drivers in a safe and controlled environment
- Entertainment and gaming industry for realistic driving experiences
Problems Solved
- Lack of realistic sound experience in virtual driving simulations
- Inability to fully immerse users in a virtual driving environment
- Difficulty in accurately reproducing and analyzing 3D sound in simulations
Benefits
- Enhanced sensation of immersion in virtual driving simulations
- Realistic and immersive sound experience for users
- Improved training and learning outcomes for drivers in a virtual environment
Original Abstract Submitted
A virtual driving simulation device and a method for improving a sensation of immersion therefore that may improve the sensation of immersion for a driving simulation in a virtual environment includes a microphone for measuring a 3D sound, and a processor that is configured to record the 3D sound through the microphone, analyze a sound realization influence by reproducing the recorded 3D sound through higher-order ambisonics (HOA) encoding and HOA decoding, and realize the sensation of immersion based on a result of analyzing the sound realization influence.
