ABSTRACT
In this work, we proposed a proof-of-concept system that combines real and virtual racing, allowing professional racing drivers and e-racers to compete in real time. The real race car is imported into a racing game, and the virtual game car is exported into the real world in AR. This allows e-racers to compete against professional racing drivers and gives the audience an exciting experience from the grandstand with the use of AR. Our system was deployed during an actual racing event, and we gathered initial feedback from users. Both e-racers and audience expressed excitement about our system, indicating a strong potential for this new form of mixed reality racing.

Car racing in a simulator: Validation and assessment of brake pedal stiffness
Car racing is a mentally and physically demanding sport. The track time available to train drivers and test car setups is limited. Race car simulators offer the possibility of safe, efficient, and standardized human-in-the-loop training and testing. We ...
