A driving simulator was created using commercially available 3 degree of freedom motion platform (DOFreality H3) and a virtual reality head-mounted display (Oculus CV1). Using virtual reality headset as the visual simulation system with low-cost moving base platform allowed us to create a high-fidelity driving simulator with minimal cost and space. A custom motion cueing algorithm was used to minimize visuo-vestibular conflict, and simulator sickness questionnaire (SSQ) was used to measure progression of simulator sickness over time while driving on a highway environment.
