Virtual Reality Tractor Simulation

Precision Agriculture is a recent development that utilizes emerging technologies to optimize the return on investment while reducing the cost in seed, fertilizer, fuel and time. Virtual Reality applications are beginning to emerge as a promising opportunity to create uniquely immersive and engaging experiences for users. This project represents a synthesis of these ideas. We hope to create an immersive and accurate Virtual Reality simulation that allows a user to experience what it is like to drive a tractor, while benefiting from the advent of key Precision Agriculture techniques such as variable rate and GPS. When a simulation reaches a high enough level of fidelity and impressiveness it can fulfill a wide range of needs, from generating interest to cost effective and useful training.
