Currently, the development of new VR immersive systems faces unique challenges to respond to the user\u2019s requirements, such as introducing high-resolution 360\u00b0 panoramic images and videos. With this type of visual information, it is much more complicated to apply the traditional methods of generating motion cues, since it is generally not possible to calculate the necessary corresponding motion properties that are needed to feed the motion cueing algorithms. For this reason, this paper aims to present a new method for generating non-real-time gravito-inertial cues with motion platforms using a system fed both with computer-generated\u2014simulation-based\u2014images and video imagery. It is a hybrid method where part of the gravito-inertial cues\u2014those with acceleration information\u2014are generated using a classical approach through the application of physical modeling in a VR scene utilizing washout filters, and part of the gravito-inertial cues\u2014the ones coming from recorded images and video, without acceleration information\u2014were generated ad hoc in a semi-manual way. The resulting motion cues generated were further modified according to the contributions of different experts based on a successive approximation\u2014Wideband Delphi-inspired\u2014method. The subjective evaluation of the proposed method showed that the motion signals refined with this method were significantly better than the original non-refined ones in terms of user perception. The final system, developed as part of an international road safety education campaign, could be useful for developing further VR-based applications for key fields such as driving assistance, vehicle automation and road crash prevention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21238079","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,6]],"date-time":"2021-12-06T03:10:38Z","timestamp":1638760238000},"page":"8079","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Development of a Hybrid Method to Generate Gravito-Inertial Cues for Motion Platforms in Highly Immersive Environments"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2754-9592","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jose V.","family":"Riera","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Robotics, Information Technologies and Communication Research (IRTIC), University of Valencia, 46980 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0396-4628","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sergio","family":"Casas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Robotics, Information Technologies and Communication Research (IRTIC), University of Valencia, 46980 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marcos","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Robotics, Information Technologies and Communication Research (IRTIC), University of Valencia, 46980 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9482-8874","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco","family":"Alonso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Psychology, University of Valencia, 46010 Valencia, Spain"},{"name":"Research Institute on Traffic and Road Safety (INTRAS), University of Valencia, 46022 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5099-4627","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sergio A.","family":"Useche","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Psychology, University of Valencia, 46010 Valencia, Spain"},{"name":"Research Institute on Traffic and Road Safety (INTRAS), University of Valencia, 46022 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"371","DOI":"10.1243\/PIME_PROC_1965_180_029_02","article-title":"A Platform with Six Degrees of Freedom","volume":"180","author":"Stewart","year":"1965","journal-title":"Proc.
