PI:  Greg Luecke

Funding Agency: Deere & Company

Summary: An immersive combine simulator is being developed in partnership with Deere & Co. to provide a training environment for learning the protocols of the control area network that operate its combine. One version of the combine simulator was demonstrated at the Agritechnica 2005 trade show in Hanover, Germany. This project also includes enhancing the existing ISU virtual farm model to include a wheat field and integrating existing operator displays into the simulation.
