Abstract
An apparatus and method of realizing a virtual after-burn effect of a vehicle are provided. The method includes receiving vehicle driving information at a controller while the electric vehicle travels, determining, by the controller, characteristics of the virtual after-burn effect based on the input vehicle driving information, outputting, by the controller, a control signal for realizing the virtual after-burn effect based on the determined characteristics of the virtual after-burn effect, and controlling, by the controller, an operation of a realization device for realizing the virtual after-burn effect according to the control signal.
Claims18
A method of realizing a virtual after-burn effect in an electric vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a controller, vehicle driving information while the electric vehicle travels;
- determining, by the controller, characteristics of the virtual after-burn effect based on the vehicle driving information;
- outputting, by the controller, a control signal for realizing the virtual after-burn effect based on the determined characteristics of the virtual after-burn effect;
- and
- controlling, by the controller, an operation of a realization device for realizing the virtual after-burn effect according to the control signal.
An apparatus for realizing a virtual after-burn effect in an electric vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a driving information detector configured to detect vehicle driving information while the electric vehicle travels;
- a controller configured to:
- determine characteristics of the virtual after-burn effect based on the vehicle driving information;
- and
- output a control signal for realizing the virtual after-burn effect based on the determined characteristics of the virtual after-burn effect;
- and
- a realization device installed in the electric vehicle and configured to control an operation to realize the virtual after-burn effect according to the control signal.
