Power Chair Driver’s Ed:
On Four Wheels with SecondLife
Driving Simulator Learning to drive a power wheelchair can be
complicated. In this project you will design (and build) a prototype driving simulator/game for individuals learning to drive.
Mentor: Julia Klag
Proposed Problem
Stredney (1995) exploring the integration of new ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) standards and stereoscopic polarized lenses to view the virtual world.
Hasdai (1998) compared novice and experienced children in a 2D maze with a joystick interface.
Archambault (2011) compared operating a virtual power wheelchair with a physical chair. (healthy adults)
The Literature
Adelola (2002) created a solution that received input from any wheelchair's wheels (AutoCAD and power-chair required).
Desbonnet (1998) used a functioning control arm from a power-chair, AutoCAD, suggested tilt platform.
Rossol (2011) open source rendering software and a real power chair.
Herrlich (2010) Unreal 3 engine and unmodified joystick.
The Literature – cont.
Easily configurable◦ both physically and virtually
Within the $100 budget
Measured chairs and joysticks
Design Requirements
