ABSTRACT

This study systematically analyzes the key design elements and technical requirements for implementing immersive VR systems within autonomous vehicles, transforming them into future-oriented digital experience spaces. Given the unique physical constraints of a moving vehicle— such as vibration, limited field of view, and spatial restrictions—VR content must incorporate dynamic viewpoint alignment, interface adaptability, posture recognition, and biosignal-based interaction. To maintain immersion and reduce motion sickness, content must be adjusted in real time using vehicle kinematic data and physiological feedback. The paper also addresses multi-user synchronization issues, including viewpoint mismatch and emotional desynchronization, requiring advanced real-time coordination systems. A distributed computing structure and lightweight rendering strategies are proposed to optimize real-time performance. User experience (UX) evaluation through empirical testing and feedback-loop-based analytics is emphasized, and future expansion into industries such as tourism, education, healthcare, and the metaverse is anticipated, alongside regulatory and data protection considerations.
