Project Abstract

This project looks at enhancing driving simulators by incorporating realistic haptic feedback using real data. The motivation behind this project is Formula 1 as simulators are becoming an essential part of the sport. The aim for this project is to develop simulators by adding haptic feedback to improve realism. The approach I took for this work was using Arduino boards to collect data for the Pitch, Roll, Heave and Yaw, then translating this data into movements on the Simulator. I had the Arduino board mounted to a remote-controlled car to mimic the idea of sensors on a F1 car. To evaluate I conducted a user study to get feedback on how realistic the simulator feels.
