An information processing device includes a control unit. The control unit acquires actual traveling information about a first vehicle that travels along a first traveling route, and generates control information for reproducing a traveling state of the first vehicle on the first traveling route, based on the acquired traveling information about the first vehicle.

Systems and methods for scenario marker infrastructure are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method comprises receiving driving scenario data, extracting simulated sensor data from the driving scenario data, extracting scenario markers from the driving scenario data, inputting the simulated sensor data into autonomous driving software, receiving driving instructions output by the driving software, updating a driving status of the autonomous vehicle based on the driving instructions output by the autonomous driving software, creating a simulation log comprising the simulated sensor data and the driving instructions, and inserting the scenario markers into the simulation log.

A system and method are that includes a frame and a weapon mount on the frame that receives a weapon mock-up. The method includes setting up a trainer simulator including opening a transportable shipping container, wherein the transportable shipping container includes a coupled integrated common base frame and a universal mount tower. The method includes assembling a seat and pivoting the universal mount tower from a horizontal position to a vertical position wherein the universal mount tower auto-locks into position. The method includes delivering ground vehicle based weapon system training to a user using a continuum of human interface fidelities that includes a first, second and third fidelity, wherein the user is first delivered training at a first fidelity, and then at a second fidelity and then at a third fidelity. A system for a mission reconfigurable trainer simulation is also presented.

A driving accident simulation, having a head-wearable user interface (e.g., a head-worn virtual-reality display), may be used to inform a driver of the driver's potential liability under different insurance options. The simulation may determine damages caused by the simulated accident, and identify multiple insurance options and the resulting user liability under each option. The simulation may also be used to assess an insurance adjuster's ability to estimate damages from an accident, by receiving the adjuster's estimate and comparing it to the simulation's own estimate of damages. In some embodiments, the simulation may present a driver with a simulated view from a point of view of another party to the simulated accident.

An orientable seating device includes a seat, the orientation of which can be controlled to dynamically affect a desired of yaw, pitch and roll. The seating device can be used to reorient and/or to simulate motion for a seated person for use with video games, virtual reality headsets or goggles, land, water, air or space vehicle simulation, or wireless airborne drones, for example. The device includes a seat mounted on a carriage, which is received in a carriage pedestal. Within the pedestal, a drive wheel positioned under the carriage supports and rotates the carriage by driving an outer sphere-shaped surface of the carriage. The drive wheel can be reoriented around a vertical axis such that any combination of pitch and roll can be achieved by rotating the wheel against the sphere-shaped surface. Yaw can be controlled by a rotatable platform upon which the carriage pedestal can be mounted.

This invention relates to the field of motion systems especially for simulating motion such as driving or flying. In particular, though not exclusively, the invention relates to motion generators, and to systems including such motion generators, and to methods of using motion generators and motion systems for example as vehicle simulators. One aspect of the invention relates to a primary motion generator (10,82,102) for use in a motion simulator for moving a primary payload (14) of 80 kg or more above a surface (12), the primary motion generator (10,82,102) being a parallel manipulator comprising: a primary frame or platform (11) for supporting the primary payload of 80 kg or more (14), three elongate linear guides (21,22,23) arranged transversely to each other below the frame in a planar array, at least one actuator (31,32,33) arranged per linear guide (21,22,23) above the surface, and controllable to move the linear guides (21,22,23) whereby the primary payload of 80 kg or more is movable in at least three degrees of freedom.
