State of the art driving technology comes to Sligo
The simulator provides the learner driver with a real life car environment in which to learn
Sim2Learn provides the learner driver with the opportunity to learn in a safe and stress-free environment. It will also provides the learner driver with all the confidence and technical driving skills required prior to ‘on-the-road’ tuition with a certified Driving Instructor.
The simulator consists of the cockpit of a car, with all primary and secondary controls including the safety belt, providing the learner driver with a real life car environment in which to learn.
The virtual-reality driving environment is provided through three wrap-around highresolution computer screens. When a learner driver looks into the screens they will see a driving environment similar to the one they see when looking out the windscreen of a real car – it even takes into consideration Irish weather conditions.
