It's been a while since I showed screenshots of new environment, but I was not lazy in the meantime. May I present: The Museum. Optimized for Quest 3 in standalone with currently up to four users. #VRresearch
It’s getting serious! 🚀😊
Experiments using immersive technologies will get substantially easier in less than 24h - thanks to @flxklotz.bsky.social & @thefirstfloor.bsky.social

ARC grant announcement: "This project aims to investigate the idea that virtual reality (VR) is an ‘empathy machine’ that can simulate the experiences of other people and thereby give us knowledge of what it is like to have those experiences. The project expects to advance our understanding of this issue by bringing together philosophical work on ‘what it is like’ knowledge and work in psychology on immersive VR. Expected outcomes include a theory of how VR can give us degrees of ‘what it is like’ knowledge, and a normative analysis of what can go wrong when we try to use VR to understand other people. This should provide significant benefits, including guidelines for the ethical use of these 'empathy machines', and practical advice on improving their accuracy."
Very excited to be co-CI on this awarded ARC Discovery Project investigating whether and how knowledge gained from VR experiences corresponds to knowledge gained from their "real" "equivalents". Let me know if you're interested in collaborating, especially at #IEEEVR 2026! #VRresearch
Not even a year until the next VRSummit and VRS Hackathon!
