Discussion (pick 3)
- Comment on the quote from Evans 2004 about driving simulators. Do you feel like this can be generalized for other behavior research? Do you feel like this criticism is true for all VR systems?
- Comment on the experiment. What do you think was done well/ well thought out? What would you change and/or add?
- Choose one of the questions in the discussion section (p.351). Do you agree with the authors analysis? Why or why not
- How would you use the results of this experiment to create better drivers? Describe an implementation you could see one creating.
- Find a topic that you interesting, dubious, or curious and explain why.
