Head Mounted Virtual Reality (HMD VR)

The GIVA research group uses head-mounted Virtual Reality Displays (HMD VR), as one example of mixed reality (MR) technologies, to study map-based human behavior and decision making in various virtual reality environments, including gamified settings. With HTC Vive Pro 2 a user is fully immersed in a virtual scene. Two handheld controllers allow users to interact with 3D objects in a scene. The system detects one’s position in the real world and in the VR scene via two radar like sensors, as well as an IMU sensor in the HMD.
