VR driving simulator: Show people how to enjoy their cars responsibly

The client’s mission states: Preserving the national wealth of energy sources in a way that supports the national economy and forces. The organization focuses on building awareness of the conscious and rational use of energy resources, on both micro and macro scale. The educational aspect is very important here, as well as the objective of presenting actual effects of negligence in this area.
For this reason, the client wanted to use VR technology, where users acquire practical knowledge through a gameplay experience.

And, since VR is capable of delivering lifelike experiences, a combination of educational value and VR technology brings the best possible results. The application we created helped the client achieve their goal of promoting social awareness in the field of rationalization and efficiency of energy consumption. The land transportation sector in Saudi Arabia suffers from excessive fuel consumption.
Our VR driving simulator is in line with the client’s objective of spreading a culture of energy consumption rationalization in general, and fuel consumption rationalization in particular.
The real-life challenges in Saudi Arabia that the VR driving simulator addresses are as follows:
