Overview / Usage

Develop Motion Simulator Platform with Virtual Reality Car Racing Game for Gaming Laptop Promotion Event sponsored by Intel Indonesia.

Using Arduino as Micro Controller to powering Motion Platform by processing Motion Telemetry Data from Gaming Laptop, catch by Gaming Controller PC connected via USB to Arduino.

This Motion Simulator using 2DOF powered by Worm Gear DC Motor to move or shake the Rig. Using Samsung 42" Curved UHD TV as a display, HTC VIVE Virtual Reality Gear, and Logitech G29 Gaming Steering Wheel, Shifter and Pedals. Project done in 22 days.

I build the mechanics created by using Laser Cutting to cut 3mm and 6mm thick metal sheet.

For the game, I use PROJECT CARS VR by Steam.

Methodology / Approach

I patched Assetto Corsa Racing Simulation Game to get Telemetry and Motion data from the game.
Then all motion data sent to Arduino to drive 2 actuator motors that moves the rig/platform.

Technologies Used

Arduino 101 microcontroller
Samsung 40" Curved UHD TV
Alienware Aurora R7 PC (intel i7 8700K)
HTC Vive VIRTUAL REALITY gears
Logitech G29 steering wheel & pedals
