Technical Infrastructure
Providing the infrastructure
Our efforts to build a comprehensive technical foundation for 3VIS research focus on three key aspects:
-
State-of-the-Art Hardware: Access to an extensive collection of mixed reality (MR) headsets and a diverse range of AR and VR equipment commonly used in research.
-
Comprehensive Software Resources: Availability of essential licenses that support advanced analytics and immersive research capabilities.
-
Innovative Data Platforms: Development of a spatial data extraction platform capable of processing high-frequency, time-stamped behavioral data from single-player and multi-player 3VIS studies at scale. This platform integrates data from three primary sources:
-
Device Data: Extracted directly from MR headsets, including eye-tracking, head movements, and gestures.
-
Simulation Data: Derived from the virtual environment, capturing user interactions and navigation patterns.
-
Physical Metrics: Metrics such as heart rate and skin responses, collected from the physical environment to complement immersive data.
