PiSightSensic's piSight, a 150-degree head-mounted virtual reality system, will be integrated into Renault's (manufacturer of environmentally-friendly vehicles worldwide) ULTIMATE driving simulator.


The Renault ULTIMATE simulator is a driving simulation for industrial use that consists of a car cockpit, panoramic display, and driver-access systems with 15 databases of different road journeys.


Dr. Andras Kemeny, head of the Renault Technical Centre for Simulation, wanted to utilize piSight's VR system "in order to fully utilize the simulator's potential in the study of improving vehicle and road safety thanks to the enhanced visibility conditions offered by new vehicle architecture solutions." It's a good idea to look in to improving vehicles and the road, but drivers themselves need to look in to their own driving skills as well to be good drivers!


The simulator will be demonstrated on October 6 as part of the 2006 Driving Simulation Conference in Europe.
