Product Vision

Introduction

We envision a driving simulator that will provide a semi-realistic three-dimensional learning environment for novice drivers. This environment will simulate realistic driving conditions to include: road hazards, fellow drivers, and other interactive scenery. The interface will provide the user with a first-person driving perspective that will be intuitive for anyone familiar with the basic controls of an automobile. This environment will be presented to the user in the form of an application capable of running inside any modern web browser with internet access.

Business Opportunity

This product is being built from scratch as a prototype for a professor who is conducting research on educational technologies related to driver education. To date, there is no other simulator of this type that complies with the following requirements: cost effective, operates in a web browser, and gives the customer the ability to modify the final product to suit research requirements.

Product Statement

The problem of cost-effectively practicing defensive driving
affects drivers.
The impact of which makes it difficult for drivers to learn from personal experience.
A successful solution would be to use a driving simulator that allows drivers to practice driving situations over and over without costly repercussions such as property damage or personal injury.

Product Position Statement

For drivers and researchers
who wish to improve their skills or learn about drivers' reactions.
Our System is a web-deployed application
that allows users to practice defensive driving anywhere there is a capable web-browser
unlike others solutions, which require either special equipment or locally installed software.
Our Product provides a flexible driving simulator that allows for experimentation in known and user-specified driving hazards.

Product Overview

This application must be written in a language that will provide 3D capability and function in browser independent fashion. This application must also be cost effective to implement and maintain, which may be facilitated by the use of open source, third pary, libraries.
