Honda to launch bike sim next year

by David Allen on Monday, October 19th, 2009

Imagine an arcade style bike simulator that is available for inside your home, it is educational tool as it has been devised to teach about the riding in a busy city or town environment. However, of course that is not going happen, as it is going to be like free roaming on GTA but without the weapons!

If the price is right and I suspect the price is not going to be right, but if the price was right, then this could be a brilliant game. Oh sorry, learning tool!

Key features of the Honda Bicycle Simulator

Hardware

- Compact design (length 2,270mm x height 1,400mm x width 990mm, weight 88kg)

- Equipped with monitors to check right/left and behind.

- Equipped with a “walking sensor” which recognizes the user’s action of walking the bicycle.

Software

- Contains different courses such as “going to school,” “going to the grocery store,” “going to cram school” and “going to a local shopping street” to offer realistic experiences for user groups of different ages.

- Contains a course for the user to learn traffic laws and manners to ride a bicycle in mixed traffic.

- After the simulation, the rider’s path can be reviewed from multiple vantage points – above/below and right/left – and the riding situation and evaluation will be displayed on the monitor.
