Cover Story: One of the main problems in relation to road safety is the correct use of the seat belt, a device that saves thousands of lives every year. For this reason, the presented work shows an edutainment application designed to increase awareness on the use of the seat belt. For this goal, a VR-enhanced rollover system has been developed. The VR application is synchronized with a motorized rollover car simulator. The system has been tested for a month in Saudi Arabia with more than 500 users. We measured, before and after the rollover experience, the perception of risk of not using the seat belt. Results show that awareness regarding the use of seat belts increased very significantly after using the presented edutainment tool. View this paper
