An interactive vehicle simulation system having a virtual reality engine that generates a virtual operating environment that includes a user operated vehicle having a plurality of wheel types, a vehicle position, vehicle orientation, vehicle velocity and vehicle acceleration.

A system for managing user experience in an application portal. The system includes an application recorder and a processing unit including a first module and a second module. The application recorder configured to capture data corresponding to actions of a first user in the first application. The processing unit communicatively coupled to the application recorder. The first module is configured to acquire the captured data from the application recorder and train a first digital entity based on the captured data to simulate the actions of the first user. The second module is configured to implement the first digital entity in the second application to perform the actions therein.

Systems and methods are disclosed for educating vehicle drivers. Auto insurance claim data may be analyzed to identify hazardous areas associated with an abnormally high amount or severity of vehicle collisions. A virtual navigation map of roads within the hazardous areas may be built or generated. A common cause of several vehicle collisions at a hazardous area may be identified, and a virtual reconstruction of a scenario involving the common cause and/or a road map of collisions locations of may be created. The virtual reconstruction of the scenario may be displayed on a driver education virtual simulator to enhance driver education and reduce the likelihood of vehicle collisions.

Methods, computer-readable media, software, and apparatuses provide a tool for use by drivers and/or coaches throughout the pre-license stage of obtaining a driver's license. A pre-license program may control a computing device to collect drive data while a driver is driving a vehicle. This drive data may be used to detect a drive event. Then, the computing device may present coaching information associated with the detected drive event. The coaching information may provide a passenger, such as a coach or parent, with real-time advice for instructing the driver how to improve his/her driving skills. Moreover, the drive data collected may be used to prepare reports providing feedback to the drivers and coaches. Further, the pre-license program may determine an expected track for a driver to follow to prepare for a driver's license test and may indicate whether the driver is on or off the track.

The present disclosure relates to a testing method and a testing system for a human stress reaction, and a computer-readable storage medium. The testing method for the human stress reaction includes acquiring position information and visual field information of a testee in a virtual road traffic scene after the virtual road traffic scene is established; guiding the testee into a test zone when the testee is within a test-waiting zone and when a visual field direction of the testee faces the test zone, and simultaneously, starting acquiring stress reaction data of the testee; controlling a virtual reality environment module to create a virtual stress event in the test zone after it is determined that the testee is within the test zone, and applying a stimulation to the testee, such that the testee make a stress reaction.

A virtual reality (VR) based driving simulation system and method provides hazard perception training and testing. Some embodiments use a personal computing device (e.g., smartphone), a head-mounted VR headset, and a Bluetooth-connected push button keypad or other user input device. An immersive, 3D simulator enables users to experience and learn from hazardous scenarios without risking injury. Performance by a user in perceiving a hazard is compiled as a metric in a user profile stored on a server, and continued training and testing can be conducted with updated scenarios supplied by the server in accordance with the metric associated with a user.
