Latest advancements in real-time 3D technologies and spatial computing platforms (XR) make the creation of “Immersive Experiences” accessible than ever. The study of human intelligence and behaviour relies on what scenarios and conditions researchers can create for to their experiments. Immersive Experiences in research allows researchers full control over their experiments: they can measure all of the subject’s behaviour by accurately tracking every interaction it makes with the world, while having 100% control over the world it is immersed in.

In recent years there has been an increase in the number of studies using virtual/ augmented/ extended realities. In this seminar we will discuss the pros and cons of these novel techniques. Course lecturers as well as students will present different studies using these techniques to study human behavior.

This 21 hours course aims to provide students with a basic understanding of how to build and design immersive interactive experiences that are intuitive and self-explanatory.
