Gran Turismo 5′s “Data Logger Visualization” Tech Demo

Gran Turismo 5 January 18th, 2010 by Jordan

Here’s a closer look at GT5‘s “Data  Logger Visualization” feature that was just announced at last weekend’s Tokyo Auto Salon, complete with video of a Lexus IS-F outfitted with the necessary gadgets doing a lap around Fuji.


Toyota Motor Corporation and “Gran Turismo” on January 15, was held at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture, “Tokyo Auto Salon 2010 with NAPAC” vehicle information and announced a collaboration on a new site using GPS coordinates.

This collaboration is used to control the real world automotive vehicle CAN (Controller Area Network) using the GPS information and location information, “Gran Turismo” in real time to visualize what that is driving the vehicle.

CAN export to USB memory location information and that information, “Gran Turismo” and loaded into a simulation engine, “Gran Turismo” was visualizes as a video replay, you can also play as a ghost, help you analyze your driving or you can.

CAN has the right to information about G Force and handle and brake, accelerator operations, and includes rotational speed of each wheel and engine speed, allowing a highly accurate reproduction of the combination of vehicle and location information .

Venue with the Toyota booth at the stage of the vehicle to the 2009 Super GT Fuji Speedway was the American champion Juichi Wakisaka IS F data actually ran in “Gran Turismo” on reproduction. And the actual practice of “Gran Turismo” By comparison with on-screen video reproduction has demonstrated the high accuracy.

Please expect us in the new efforts of both companies.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

    I agree that the graphics look great and the overall the physics are very accurate but the car still feels a bit too buoyant to me. If you compare the videos, there is more sharp bumps, especially over curbs.

    Overall it is great… I just need something else in there to ground me to the experience a bit more… some of that is in the ffb but it still feels a little bit floaty and not as connected to the asphalt when driving. Don’t get me wrong, I think it is great… that is just what would secure it closer for me…

    For every person here complaining for the game to be released, when it comes out, there will be an equal number of people (probably the SAME people) complaining that it is unfinished and that PD should have waited and finished it before releasing it. Can’t win.

    This IS very COOL… BUT… BUUUUTTTT….

    how many of us will be at the tracks featured in the game? Not likely. Most of us who track our cars do so, on more local tracks not featured in the game. Right? So unless we can recreate our local tracks in GT5, this feature is a waste of development for the majority of people outside of the areas of the few real tracks featured in the final game.

    MAYBE this is another hint for us being able to create, or add our own hometown/local REAL tracks to the game via this technology???

    The two last comments are delightful. Thank you guys. The “when will it release ?” thing becomes mmore and more annoying.

    BTW, who won 2010 Gran Turismo award at the Tokyo Auto Salon ? There were some pretty sick Time Attack RX-7…

    GT5 is not made only for beginner but also for real pro racers they can learn the real track also Data Logger Visualization real to sim to improve

    ok so im only 14, and the fastest car i driven is the 08 sti it was a lot of fun and totally different than all those racing games but when i tried the gt5 tt demo with my g25 the physics blew me away… it felt so real .. even the e-z-ness of spinning out through corners with no traction control…. honestly i think PD can invest development in drivers ed class simulators because they are so dead on with every thing… and now with light change(day, night) and weather cycles, and rallying, they could simulate all driving conditions for helping drivers ed students gain experience …. but thats just my opinion

    Cool, but a Waste of time.

    Instead of doing these things, why not Polish the game and add something like tyre marks?

    Still going to be awesome thou.

    That`s not funny :) I had to walk a whole month because “PD” didn`t share the same opinion about my racing needs as me ;)

    xanavi R34: as i understood it, it’s a gps by denso, so aftermarket car ( here the lexus is equipped with the gps)

    Turbo_3800: lol. Got yea. We probably all do it from times to times (except maybe the cops themselfs, and even than … :P )

    @S3 Racer…lol it’s all good man. I know which highway has traffic and elroys (troopers) at any given time of day, each day. If enforcement steps up, they can’t cover every inch of highway lol.

    I see an slicht wheel difference, in the movement. Is this an aplication you can buy, or that it have to be in new expensive cars?

    That’s a pretty dope feature but all honesty this is only onna be beneficial to those whose visit real life tracks that are in the game, most of us don’t really go to tracks like that unless it’s a drag strip lol. If they were to put the Chicago Motor Speedway then I’ll be more than happy to hear news of this feature. I use the highway @ 1:30am to fullfill my racing needs lol so until PD can replicate that, this feature is useless to me but more power to you if you can use this.
