Abstract

For many studies with requirement of high realistic simulation, an immersive virtual environment is preferred. However, the data acquisition methods are usually intrusive in those studies and against the goal of high confidence reality. This paper introduces a smart wheel that is embedded with sensors to non-intrusively investigate a driver's physiological response in virtual environment based driving simulation. In the experiment, a driver's pulse wave is recorded in real-time without interfering the driver's maneuver. The experiment data clearly shows the patterns of the test driver's physiological response in different scenarios of virtual environment.
