Prototipo de entrenador basado en realidad virtual inmersiva para la conducción de carretillas automotoras industriales

Abstract

[ES] Through this Final Degree Project I intend to make an approach to a modern and unexplored technology, virtual reality, focused on a scientific field, such as the simulation of driving and operation of a work vehicle. The success of the project depends on the credibility of the simulator, and that what happens in the virtual world realistically reflects the behavior of the real truck and of the interactions carried out by the user. For this reason, I will begin the work by showing a brief history of how Forklifts appeared and how their evolution has been over time, showing as a final result the different types, components, physics, operation and areas of operation in which it has led to today. This information will allow me to recreate the entire virtual environment in a more close to reality, so that the joint interaction achieves total immersion of the user in the application, providing realistic driving experiences. Finally, I conclude with the sample of the software application, the steps made for its design and construction, the different training modes, the minimum requirements and a user manual.
