InVirtuo 4.0
@invirtuo.bsky.social
We are a collaboration between the Uni Bonn, the University Clinic Bonn, the DZNE and the TU Dortmund, funded by the state of NRW. We develop a new methodology for researching human interaction in VR environments. #invirtuo #virtualhumans
Interesting talk on the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and #VRresearch
Next week: Hybrid talk by @martandreatta.bsky.social (University Hospital Tübingen) on “When context matters in shaping defensive responses.”

On Wednesday, several of our affiliated research groups participated in the #openhouse of University of Bonn: Visitors could examine the light stage, test a VR scenario, or listen in on the latest assessment of our ethicists. We had a blast. Thanks to everyone who dropped by to learn about our work!
Yesterday, we opened the doors to our labs and participated in @unibonn.bsky.social's #diesacademicus. We had a full house with over 30 visitors, as many interested people came to take a look around and try out one of our VR games.
