Immersion in the virtual world is the key to training effectiveness. When the learner's attention is fully engaged in the training scenario, the lessons transfer to the real world and are retained longer. Immersion is created by a combination of three sensory cues, visual, aural and motion. The loss of one cue reduces the quality of immersion and training effects. Higher quality immersion is also associated with a reduction in Simulation Adaptation Syndrome. A state-of-the-art motion / vibration system is a standard feature of the VS600M truck simulator. The combination of motion and vibration cues enhances the immersive experience and improves the overall speed perception. The VS600M motion system consists of a compact, three-axis platform with electric actuators that provide cues for vehicle acceleration and deceleration, road curvature and obstacles such as sidewalks and pot holes. Vehicle engine vibrations are simulated as a function of the RPM. Vibrations from the tires on the road surface changes as a function of the vehicle speed and road surface and are transmitted through the seat, steering wheel and the simulator platform. For manual transmission training applications, the driver feels the vibrations under his foot as he releases the clutch slowly to the friction point and feels the movement of the vehicle. The motion system is designed for a continuous, maintenance-free operation. |
