How Volvo uses latest gaming technology to develop safe cars

Volvo Cars’ mixed-reality simulator uses latest gaming technology to discover new insights in safety and autonomous driving technology.

The mixed-reality driving simulator’s setup includes a moving driving seat, a steering wheel with haptic feedback and a crystal-clear virtual reality headset, something that a gaming enthusiast would be excited about. The simulator makes it hard to differentiate between reality and simulation.

The simulator involves driving a real car on real roads, combining life-like, high definition 3D graphics, an augmented reality headset, and a full-body Teslasuit that provides feedback from a virtual world and monitors bodily reactions.
