XR Mobility Platform: Multi-Modal XR System Mounted on Autonomous Vehicle for Passenger’s Comfort Improvement

Abstract

This paper introduces a multimodal XR mobility system mounted on an autonomous vehicle, which consists of immersive displays including a cylindrical screen or HMD and a motion platform in order to improve a passenger’s comfort. It is expected that the interior environment surrounding passengers will change dramatically when autonomous vehicles are realized in the near future. For example, since the driver is freed from driving he or she becomes a passenger without steering authority, and the windshield and windows are turned into information screens. The goal of this research is to develop technology to improve passenger’s comfort during auto-driving using the XR mobility platform, which is a multimodal VR/AR system with a tilt controllable seat mounted on an autonomous vehicle. This paper introduces the configuration of the XR mobility platform and proposes a movement sense control method.
