abstract = {To study driver behavior we set up a lab with fixed base driving simulators. In order to compensate for the lack of physical feedback in this scenario, we aimed for another means of increasing the realism of our system. In the following, we propose an efficient method of head tracking and its integration in our driving simulation. Furthermore, we illuminate why this is a promising boost of the subjects immersion in the virtual world. Our idea for increasing the feeling of immersion is to give the subject feedback on head movements relative to the screen. A real driver sometimes moves his head in order to see something better or to look behind an occluding object. In addition to these intentional movements, a study conducted by Zirkovitz and Harris has revealed that drivers involuntarily tilt their heads when they go around corners in order to maximize the use of visual information available in the scene. Our system reflects the visual changes of any head movement and hence gives feedback on both involuntary and intentional motion. If, for example, subjects move to the left, they will see more from the right-hand side of the scene. If, on the other hand, they move upwards, a larger fraction of the engine hood will be visible. The same holds for the rear view mirror.},
