Kunos Simulazioni and driving simulators: evolution and development of two complementary realities

Moderated by Stefano Silvestri - Director @ Eurogamer.it

ABSTRACT

Kunos Simulazioni is a software house specialized in developing driving simulations mainly for the Windows platform. It’s a case of excellence: an independent software house capable of overcoming failures and building an international credibility whose apex were games such as Assetto Corsa (soul of a simulator and aspect of a video game) and Assetto Corsa Competizione.
Today, Kunos Simulazioni is active in the virtual driving sector offering a proprietary technology strongly focused on realism of dynamics models.
How a project, born from the passion for engines, becomes a real new technology, able to satisfy a lot of different needs: from a professional training software to a way to promote business, to a sim.racer video game, based on dynamic models with the maximum realism.
Different perspectives for the development of the simulators, in particular, the driving simulators.
Development prospects for simulators starting from those dedicated to virtual driving.
