DriveTEK: A Portable, Flexible Driving Simulator Built to Safely Study the Driving Experience
Multidisciplinary Program
Presenters: Zara Burns, Liz Fogarty, Sebastein Hughes, and Chris Steiner

This flexible, portable driving simulator uses Virtual Reality technology to allow for collection of user experience data. The game tests users’ trust with self-driving cars by measuring the person’s heartrate and the time between starting the game and when the user interacts with the brake pedal or steering wheel. This project is the continuation of user experience research by Rose-Hulman engineering management professor Amir Momenipour, PhD.
