Client / Market

• Virtual reality and simulation production/solution company
• Health and rehabilitation device manufacturer/solution company
• Sports and entertainment production/solution company
• Car (including autonomous driving) simulator manufacturer
• National defense/public training simulator manufacturer

 

Necessity of this Technology

• Existing simulator uses an unintuitive interface like a joystick to realize the movement of the trainee or the driving motion, which feels less engaged with the virtual reality.
• To verify the operability of increasing autonomy machine system, a virtual reality technology, that could precisely simulate working scenarios of a system to verify the mutual interaction with human, needs to be developed.
• In particular, an omnidirectional treadmill mechanism has never been commercialized. A new affordable mechanism having driving and noise performance at the same time needs to be developed.

 

Technical Differentiation

• This technology includes the treadmill and motion plate technology that recognizes the movement speed intended by the trainee or the driving device to move or control the virtual reality environment.
• With this technology, a virtual training system can be utilized for operation training for machines for special works or large machines such as construction machinery to prevent accidents.
• It is expected to be utilized for various fields in the future including combat training for national defense, medical rehabilitation treatment, and sports ability enhancement.
• It uses a low-noise, high-efficiency power transfer driving system for 360-degree omnidirectional ground motion generation and applies the independent power-train mechanism for ground without limitations regarding ground shape and material.
• The moving body (trainee) speed prediction-based feed forward control technology for ground speed control has been verified.
• A low-cost high-precision virtual reality contents control technology using lower body movement and posture is secured to simplify the system.

 

Excellence of Technology

• An omnidirectional driving mechanism for highspeed, low-noise ground movement is under development.
• The feed forward control algorithm based on foot pressure distribution change rate or movement of center of gravity has been developed.
• A human interface prototype specialized for immersive large-scale virtual reality environment has been developed.
• Simulator technology for fire training and large machine equipment safety has been developed.
• Detection and control simulation technology for prior verification of unmanned/ autonomous special working machine for industrial use has been developed.
• Technology for virtual movement simulator for manned/unmanned driving vehicles has been developed.
• A virtual reality prototype for unmanned vehicle system is under development for prior operability verification.
