Application of Collimated Projection Systems for the Purpose of Driving Simulators

In the paper, comparative studies of three projection systems was carried out, i.e., With a cylindrical screen, with rear projection on foil placed on car windows -- "on screen", and with a collimation system. The purpose of the study was to assess the performance characteristics of visualization systems and the susceptibility of trainees to symptoms of simulator sickness. The results indicated that none of the drivers displayed an increased tendency to individual´s symptoms of the disease and, from the perspective of trainees, the optimal solution for projection systems in car simulators is the collimated system.
