Genesis Simulator
Driving the future of mobility research
Deakin is home to the Genesis Simulator, generating ground-breaking research and innovation partnerships across the automotive, emergency services, transport and health sectors.
Australia’s most advanced motion simulator
Deakin’s $9 million Genesis Simulator is the only one of its type in Australia and the only one in the world located in a university. It offers an immersive simulation experience via a 360-degree, five-metre-high screen and variable virtual worlds. High-fidelity graphics, sounds and movement work together to create driving simulations that are as real as possible.
The cutting-edge platform supports advanced research into:
- Mobility and industry needs
- Automotive testing and design
- Fast-tracking transport prototyping
- Improving driver safety and training.
The Genesis Simulator has been supported by the Victorian Higher Education State Investment Fund (VHESIF).

Global leaders in motion simulation technology
Deakin’s Genesis Simulator is the latest addition to Deakin’s Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation (IISRI). IISRI has more than 15-years’ experience in motion simulation research and houses Australia’s biggest multi-disciplinary team of world-class mobility researchers and PhD students. With the addition of the Genesis Simulator, IISRI now houses more than seven cutting-edge simulators worth more than $70 million, strengthening its capabilities across motion simulation. IISRI has a strong track record in research, innovation and commercialisation, including more than 500 strategic partnerships with businesses, industry and government agencies around the world.
Partner with us
With the combined expertise and experience of the IISRI team, the Genesis Simulator will provide a significant opportunity for advanced research and innovation including: improving driver safety and training, automotive testing and design, fast-tracking transport prototyping and self-driving and autonomous mobility research.
Complete an internship
An internship gives you access to the Genesis Motion Simulator platform and the opportunity to work alongside world-class researchers and robotics specialists through the Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation.
Internship applications are now open, and can be completed as part of course requirements in electrical and electronics engineering, mechatronics engineering or software engineering.
