Using Visual Routines to Drive in a Virtual Environment

Abstract This paper describes the use of visual routines for autonomous driving. The routines are developed on a platform that uses a pipeline video processor to analyze the images representing the view from a car driving in a virtual environment. The simulator can also be used for human subjects, whose eye movements can be tracked within a freely moving virtual reality helmet.
