for vehicles to tackle the problem of motion sickness for passengers from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
The patented system is designed to be used in autonomous vehicles that have no windows, with the user's VR headset providing them with a view of the road that they're on if needed to soothe the motion sickness. The vehicle's VR system will also allow users to hold virtual meetings on the road. Other experiences could involve having fun, such as playing VR games, reading a book, or inviting friends and families to be their virtual travel companions.VR allows users to experience and/or interact with an immersive artificial environment, such that the user feels as if they were physically in that environment.
Embodiments of a VR system are described that may implement VR methods, for example, to address problems with vehicles in motion that may result in motion sickness for the passengers. Vehicle motions may be integrated into the virtual experiences to help prevent motion sickness. In some embodiments, active vehicle systems and/or vehicle control systems within constraints may be integrated with the VR system to provide physical effects with the virtual experience.
