VirtuWheel

A 3D Driving Simulator with Body Pose Control

VirtuWheel is a 3D driving simulator that offers a unique experience by allowing users to control the steering wheel using their body pose. In contrast to traditional simulators that require specific hardware like a physical steering wheel and gear shift, our system only needs a regular laptop and a budget camera, and an optional Logitech command board for enhanced controllability. The simulator immerses users in a realistic real-world environment, enhancing the driving experience while making it more accessible.

Features

• Body Pose Control: Users can control the steering wheel through their body pose.

• Integrated command board: It is possible to integrate a Logitech board into the system, allowing for additional actions like taking screenshots, changing the car speed, and changing the direction (forward/backward).

• Realistic Environment: The simulator provides a real-world driving experience with realistic scenery.

• Minimal Requirements: Only a regular laptop and a budget camera are required, making it accessible to a wide audience.
