CarVR: Enabling In-Car Virtual Reality Entertainment
summary
CarVR enables VR in moving cars by subtracting car rotation and mapping vehicle motions to VR so real kinesthetic forces match visual cues. A prototype uses an HMD IMU and an OBD reader and Bluetooth dead-reckoning to drive a low‑poly helicopter along a predefined track, with fixed horizon and options for exaggerated “force shifts.” A user study ( n = 21 ) finds significantly higher enjoyment and immersion and reduced simulator sickness versus stationary VR, and reports highlight level predictability, driver influence, and safety constraints.
