Porsche VR entertainment
It was news a few days ago, but Porsche will finally (?) Develop and provide VR entertainment that can be played in the car in the future.
A while ago, I wrote to Twitter that Tesla provides entertainment that allows you to play games using a real car ↓
Tesla will do a lot, but this time around. It is said that you can play a car racing game on the screen inside the car using the real Tesla steering wheel and brake pedal 😅💦 It is said that you do not need such intense steering operation, but if you move it, the tires will also work, so it will be a little tire Looks bad 😅⁉️https://t.co/pfJcTNURYc pic.twitter.com/XdaI7fHlYD

This is not a game that uses the steering and brakes of the actual car, but it is said that the scene projected in the VR headset, the feeling of speed that the car is actually running, and the movement of front, back, left and right are linked. It seems to be a thing.
In other words, the target of using this is not the driver (that's right (laughs)), but the passengers sitting in the passenger seat or the back seat.
Collaborative development with German company Holoride
This VR entertainment system is Porsche and "HolorideJoint development with a German company.
This month, Holoride verified that their technology (motion-synchronized real-time generation of Extended Reality) can work well with the data obtained by the vehicles of Porsche, Mercedes-Benz and Daimler's bus company EvoBus. TatoAnnounced..
With that, in the future, we will create a real VR world by linking the data that the actual Porsche is running with their software.
Oh, it's kind of amazing. future. No, am I Showa? Hmm ^^
A world of virtual reality linked to real movements that can be seen with a VR headset
By the way, what you can do is that if the car projected in the VR, the space shuttle, etc. are linked with the movement of the Porsche actually running, if the Porsche bends, the vehicle in the game will also be It seems that if Porsche brakes when it turns, it will also brake the vehicles in the game.
When you hear that much, you might think, "Is that fun?", But when you actually see it, it looks really fun. Can children be seen forever?
This is from the video of Audi's car released by Holoride, but I think that it will be similar in Porsche, so I will post it.
If you wear a VR headset, for example, the world that spreads in front of you will look like this ↓
When I take off my headset and look at the outside scenery from the car ...
Actually, this is an uninteresting cityscape. But when I put on the headset again ...
It will be such a world!
Furthermore, in this world, turning, stopping, etc. are linked with the actual car, so the movements you feel with your body are also linked to the game. And, in that, a mechanism that allows you to play a little game.
This is like shooting a walking penguins (there is a controller in addition to the VR headset), points are added, and the penguins become people.
It's simple, but there is also the movement of the vehicle that you can feel with your own body, so I think that it will surely have a sense of dynamism and a sense of reality ↓
Of course, since VR is software, you can do various things such as what kind of game you want to make and what kind of scenery you want to make, and the world that spreads in front of you becomes like this Jurassic world ...
It's going to be in space ... and so on. very.
Even with this long-distance drive, the children in the back seats will surely not get bored. It seems that there will be no conversation in the car ...
From my point of view, if you are riding a Porsche, you will want to enjoy the Porsche drive, but the main target group of this VR entertainment is the people in the back seat at Cayenne Macan Panamera. I think, so I think it's okay to have it.
It seems that you tend not to get drunk when using a VR headset
By the way, if you normally use an iPad in the car, you may feel like you get drunk, but the entertainment with this VR headset seems to have the effect of "not getting drunk" by using it in reverse. In that respect, I think that it can be effectively used for children with severe car sickness.
Also, it seems that it can be used for watching movies, meetings, etc., so it may be convenient for busy adults in the passenger seat depending on how it is used.
Anyway, if you look at the video, you can see how amazing this VR entertainment is. Please have a look ^^
