BBC Journalist Ken Macdonald experiencing the 4th generation full-scale VR Driving Simulator

Having covered many virtual reality-related stories over the years, Ken was surprised to find the cutting-edge simulator at GCU is based on a real car, rather than goggles or a helmet. "It's really hard to demonstrate virtual reality on television news when it is often just me in strange headgear waving my hands about. The GCU lab has much greater ability to show audiences on TV and social media the potentially exciting developments virtual reality may hold for ordinary motorists in the relatively near future. I've enjoyed visiting the campus and seeing just a little of what's going on here. There is lots of great research going on at Scotland's universities and I look forward to keeping in touch with developments at GCU."
