Research on VR in Driver Training
Key studies showcasing IMVR’s impact on driver education.
McMaster University | White Paper Report
The McMaster study on iMVR’s IRIS platform explores how motion cues impact virtual truck driver training. By comparing tasks with and without motion cues, the research shows improved user experience and reduced simulator sickness, though driving performance remained mostly unchanged. The study emphasizes the value of motion cues in creating realistic VR training environments, offering insights for enhancing future truck driver training programs.

| White Paper Report
The THRSCA VR Project leveraged advanced virtual reality technology to improve trucking industry training. Funded by the Future Skills Centre, it tested portable VR simulators to enhance driver retention, productivity, and diversity recruitment. Despite COVID-19 challenges, the project effectively trained new and experienced drivers in a safe, realistic environment, highlighting VR's potential to elevate training and performance in the industry.
CASE STUDY VIVE VR
Trucks are essential to the economy, but the industry faces a 30% loss of professional drivers, underscoring the need for effective training. In response, iMVR and HTC VIVE developed the IRIS VR platform. Using the HTC VIVE Pro Eye headset, IRIS creates immersive training environments that improve learning retention and efficiency. A study found that IRIS-trained drivers were 39% more likely to need only one session.
