PROVIDING A VIRTUAL REALITY TRANSPORTATION EXPERIENCE
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- determining, by a processor of a transportation system, a travel route for a transportation vehicle to navigate to deliver a passenger to a destination;
accessing, based on the determined travel route, historical sensory data associated with the travel route;
predicting, based on the historical sensory data, inertial forces associated with the travel route;
determining locations, relative to the transportation vehicle associated with the passenger, of other transportation vehicles associated with the transportation system;
generating a three-dimensional virtual experience by;
generating, based on the predicted inertial forces, a plurality of virtual inertial interactions, each of the plurality of virtual inertial interactions corresponding to a predicted inertial force associated with the travel route; and
generating, based on the locations of the other transportation vehicles, one or more virtual representations of the other transportation vehicles that enable the passenger to interact with passengers of the other transportation vehicles as part of the three-dimensional virtual experience; and
providing, to the passenger by way of a virtual reality device, the generated three-dimensional virtual experience while navigating the travel route to the destination.

Abstract
The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for a virtual reality transportation system. In particular, the systems and methods described herein present a virtual reality experience including a virtual environment for display to a passenger including virtual inertial interactions that correspond to real-world inertial forces that a passenger experiences while riding in a vehicle. Additionally, the systems and methods described herein analyze historical sensory data to predict inertial forces that the passenger will experience while riding in the vehicle. The systems and methods also generate a virtual sensory view for display to a passenger to represent what an autonomous transportation vehicle sees by way of a sensor suite used for navigation.
