Abstract

Eco-safe driving is a driving style that tries to minimize vehicle emissions and ensure the drivers' safety. It is an important contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions of transport. However, current methods do not scale to teaching eco-safe driving to many people, including the next generation of drivers. Consequently, we developed BeGreen, an application for practicing eco-safe driving based on our own massively multiuser networked 3D virtual environment. A feasibility study of our virtual environment technology was conducted at a Japanese High School with 41 participants, and two types of eco-feedback interfaces were compared.
