How will this project help older drivers?

This project helps older drivers by harnessing emerging VR technology to give older drivers the opportunity to drive in a safe, low-risk “virtual” environment.

The virtual driving experience helps elderly drivers understand more about their competence as a driver and / or to practice driving without actually being on the road.

More than just a driving simulator, it also monitors and records a range of important data and information from the user such as their response rate times and other important health and performance metrics.

Providing older drivers with important information to help them make an informed decision about their driving in a completely private, safe and non-intrusive environment where there is no obligation to disclose or share any aspect of their driving results unless they choose to.
