| Abstract | Driving simulation and training is one of the most typical applications of virtual reality (VR). This paper compares a VR based driving simulator to a desktop based one in terms of the level of user-felt presence and induced arousal. In particular, as the right level of arousal is important in learning and training, we focus on whether there is any difference in the level of arousal induced when different amounts of sensory feedback are given. An experiment was conducted in which subjects experienced two different driving simulators, VR-based (high amount of sensory stimulation) and desktop-based (low), under three different driving conditions (nominal/calm driving, driving on the curve, and driving through a collision accident). The level of presence was measured using a questionnaire, and arousal, indirectly through the galvanic skin response (GSR) and heart rate. Assuming that those physiological signals reflected the level of arousal of the user, our experimental results showed that while the level of presence was higher with the VR-based set up, no significant differences were found for arousal between the two system set ups. Arousal was dependent only on the task conditions. For one, this is contrary to several previous works [Meehan et al. 1998][Brogni et al. 2006] that had identified physiological signals (such as heart rate and GSR), as a reliable measure of presence. Even though VR simulators may not generate a differentiated amount of arousal, the training may still be effective for physical/spatial tasks (such as driving) due to other factors such as a large field of view and stereoscopy. However, for training of logical tasks, the cost to benefit ratio of VR based simulators may be too high. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
