    Proposed VR Simulator with Ability to Discriminate Velocity of Approaching Car
    (The Eurographics Association, 2016) Aoyama, S.; Terata, Y.; Saruta, K.; Chen, G.; Tom Coffin and Gabriel Zachmann and Akihiko Shirai and Regis Kopper and Pedro Morillo
    In Japan, fatal traffic accidents have accounted for the majority of overall traffic fatalities by the elderly pedestrian. One of the major reasons why elderly pedestrians are involved in traffic accidents is that they misread the velocity of the approaching car because aging leads to decline in sensory function. We developed an inspection system that can quantify the ability of persons to discriminate the velocity of an approaching car using virtual reality(VR) for the purpose of educating the traffic system. In this Simulator, it presents a video in which two types velocity of car moves toward the subject. The subjects answer a faster car in the two types velocity car. In this inspection, this simulator get again recognize the decline of their own sensory function.

    The Simulated Experience Road Crossing Using AR
    (The Eurographics Association, 2016) Aoyama, S.; Terata, Y.; Saruta, K.; Chen, G.; Tom Coffin and Gabriel Zachmann and Akihiko Shirai and Regis Kopper and Pedro Morillo
    In Japan, fatal traffic accidents have accounted for the majority of overall traffic fatalities by the pedestrians,In addition, About 73% is pedestrian fatalities by while pedestrians are crossing road.Therefore, Many of pedestrian traffic fatalities have occurred in the crosswalk crossing. One of the major reasons why pedestrians are involved in traffic accidents is that they does not confirm safety. So, we developed an crosswalk simulator for education that pedestrians are crossed a road using the Augmented Reality (AR). Because the simulator can present a virtual vehicle to the real road, it is possible to produce a pseudo traffic-environment, This simulator can experience a safe road crossing at low cost. The subject can learn the dangerous crossing by the experience.
