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).
