Study shows virtual reality may help pedestrians and cyclists avoid harmful pollutants

Physics-informed virtual reality could be key to reducing the exposure of pedestrians and cyclists to harmful, non-exhaust vehicle emissions, according to a study published 25 Sep in the Royal Society Open Science journal.

The VR models were put to the test with members of the public in Birmingham city center: the second largest city in the UK by population, and, as a city, the second largest contributor to UK PM 2.5 emissions from brake and tire wear, based on data from the UK National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI).
