Fuji Heavy Industries, Ltd. and incorporated company polyphony digital
small [ which is controlled by "Playstation 2" ] -- electric 6 axis type simulator
The software for control which uses "GRAN TURISMO" as a base is developed.
incorporated company polyphony digital (a Yamauchi 1 典 president --) which are Fuji Heavy Industries, Ltd. (President Takenaka Kyoji, following Fuji Heavy Industries) and the soft work subsidiary of Sony Computer Entertainment Location : Koto-ku, Tokyo and following polyphony digital A small electric 6 axis type simulator controllable by "Playstation 2" which is a home video game machine (the following, small simulator), The software for simulator control which uses as a base the driving simulation game software "GRAN TURISMO" which has 30 million or more shipment actual results in the whole world of polyphony digital work was developed.
This control system thinks that the power of expression of the simulator which Fuji Heavy Industries developed at its company will be heightened further, requests cooperation polyphony digital which has abundant development experiences about a driving simulation game or its peripheral equipment, and develops.
It became possible based on the software for the said game machines to develop simulator control software by having considered as the system which controls a small simulator by three "the sets of Playstation 2."
The Subaru technical research center which studies an aerospace company with the technology of the flight simulator for airplane operation training of Fuji Heavy Industries, the Subaru production engineering division which performs development of the Subaru vehicle, future technology, etc. is what was developed together, a small simulator has installation area and small power consumption as a full-scale simulator of 6 axis type which can express a complicated posture change, and it is the feature that it is low cost.
The simulation software which the company developed uniquely and which can experience the safe technology of a car etc. is carried, it is sent by 36th Tokyo Motor Show last year etc. as an attraction, and this simulator acquires popularity to a visitor.
Moreover, the software for control was what polyphony digital developed, and in the company, while developing the function which outputs the control data set by the reaction velocity of a small simulator taking advantage of the screen depiction power and the advanced vehicles simulation engine which were excellent in "GRAN TURISMO" series, in order to express a more exact motion, it tuned up the control data.
By having developed this new control system this time, a small simulator is reproducing a motion of vehicles on a screen correctly and interlocking a motion of the vehicles and a motion of a simulator minutely, and makes it possible to make the feeling which actually operates a car experience.
In addition, in Fuji Heavy Indus
tries, it is Subaru. In PURESSA is examining continuing to utilize in the event of the company etc. including sending to the international 73rd time auto show (March 6 - general public presentation 16) of Geneva as a simulator which experiences a run of a rally course.
