In one aspect, a device includes a processor system and storage accessible to the processor system. The storage includes instructions executable by the processor system to facilitate a racing simulation. The instructions are also executable to, as part of facilitating the racing simulation, simulate wind in real time as the racing simulation transpires. The wind is simulated in real time based on one or more variable inputs associated with the racing simulation, such as virtual vehicle velocity and virtual weather indicated in the racing simulation. The wind may be simulated both virtually in the simulation itself as well physically in the real-world by using fans to direct air toward the user.
A device, comprising:
A method, comprising:
1414 The method of claim 13, wherein the wind is simulated virtually in the racing simulation based on both virtual weather indicated by the racing simulation and virtual velocity of a virtual vehicle being controlled by a user to participate in the racing simulation.
At least one computer readable storage medium (CRSM) that is not a transitory signal, the at least one CRSM comprising instructions executable by a processor system to:
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
