PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a feeling of strangeness that an examinee has during simulation, in consideration of an actual eye position of the examinee.SOLUTION: A vehicle drive simulation device comprises: a seat for the examinee to sit on; a display device (30) for displaying view video toward the sitting examinee; and an input device (40) which can be operated by the examinee such as a steering wheel, an accelerator pedal, a brake pedal, etc. The simulation device also comprises a processing device (50) including means for calculating a virtual vehicle position on the basis of operation of the input device and means for generating a signal of the view video to be displayed on the display device on the basis of the calculated vehicle position and a determined projection center, and the projection center is determined on the basis of the eye position of the examinee sitting on the seat. 【課題】被験者の実際の目の位置を考慮して、シミュレーション中の被験者が受ける感覚の違和感を軽減する。【解決手段】乗り物の運転シミュレーション装置は、被験者が座るための座席と、座った被験者に向けて視界映像を表示する表示装置（３０）と、被験者が操作可能なステアリングハンドル、アクセルペダル、ブレーキペダル等の入力装置（４０）とを備える。シミュレーション装置はまた、前記入力装置の操作に基づいて仮想的な乗り物の位置を計算する手段と、計算された乗り物の位置と定められた投影中心とに基づき前記表示装置に表示すべき視界映像の信号を生成する手段とを有する処理装置（５０）を備え、前記投影中心は前記座席に座った被験者の目の位置に基づいて定められる。【選択図】図２
