The world of Virtual Reality: exploring technological advantages in research

Learn more about Virtual Reality technology, a research tool for various immersive and computer-generated environments to conduct studies, experiments, or investigations. Virtual Reality allows us to study for example human behavior, cognition, and reactions in a controlled and repeatable way. The immersive nature of VR enhances the sense of presence and engagement, providing researchers with valuable insights into controlled and customizable research environments.

Join us for a hybrid event with Dr. Matti Pouke, a Virtual Reality researcher at the University of Oulu, Center for Ubiquitous Computing, as he presents a comprehensive overview of the Virtual Reality foundations, research applications, and a glimpse into the future, and a demonstration of the new VARJO Virtual Reality headset in a hands-on session led by Antti Siipo, a tech expert from the University of Oulu's LeaF Infrastructure. Dr. Satu Kaleva, a Coordinator of Hybrid Intelligence will be introducing us to the fascinating profi7 program of Human-AI Co-evolution and Learning in Multi-realities (HI). Niina Palmu from the LeaF Research Infrastructure will introduce the technologies and services available for researchers at the University of Oulu.
