Facilities
We bring people into realistic virtual versions of the city and measure how their bodies and behavior respond, in the lab and on real streets.
01Immersive simulators
One virtual city, on foot, by bike, and behind the wheel
Participants share immersive virtual streets where we control traffic, design, and events, and can safely study situations that would be dangerous in the real world.
- Bicycle simulatorAn instrumented bicycle in virtual reality.
- Pedestrian simulatorImmersive walking and street crossing.
- VR driving simulatorDriving in the same virtual city.
- Multi-agentDrivers, cyclists, and pedestrians in one shared street, in real time.
02Quarter-cab driving simulator
A dedicated simulator for driving research
Alongside VR driving in our virtual city, a standalone FAAC RDS-1000 quarter-cab simulator, with real vehicle controls, supports studies of driver behavior and human-automation interaction.
03Sensing
Measuring what people feel, not only what they say
- PhysiologyEDA, heart rate, and HRV.
- Brain activityfNIRS for cognitive load.
- Eye trackingIn virtual reality and in real environments.
04Computing
The power behind the simulations
Dell workstation towers with dedicated GPUs run our immersive simulations and support data processing and machine learning on multimodal data.
- GPU workstationsDell towers for real-time VR rendering.
- Data processingSynchronizing and cleaning multimodal sensor streams.
- Machine learningModeling human states from physiological and behavioral data.
