Mixed reality development environment for self-driving cars
Abstract
During the development of self-driving cars, testing possibilities are rather limited, and carrying them out can be difficult and costly. The solution of this problem can be provided by the so-called mixed reality technology, i.e., the application of systems creating a mixed reality. These systems provide an opportunity to create an environment in which real self-driving cars can be tested in virtual traffic. Systems based on mixed reality can greatly assist the research and development of self-driving cars and can also serve as a basis for the shaping of validation procedures.
