    Abstract: The present invention provides a cost-effective device that emulates the operation of the actual vehicle assist devices and interfaces with both consumer computer game software for high fidelity on-road traffic simulation and consumer game controller with its standard television display connected to a consumer force feedback steering wheel controller. The invention which emulates the actual vehicle hand controls replaces the standard game type brake and accelerator pedals. The use of a invention for accelerator and brake while game playing allows handicapped people to learn how to operate the device that they will eventually use in a real vehicle or assist in improving upon the neuromuscular skills that they currently use while driving a handicapped adapted vehicle. This device will facilitate safer and more effective training by driver's instructors for the handicapped individual before they have to face a real-world driving scenario and provide enhanced recreational opportunities.
