Labs and Tools

In the Persons in Extended Realities Lab (PERL), parameters of the environments with which test subjects interact can be freely manipulated and quantified. To map person-environment relations and capture fluctuations in experience and behavior, subjects can immerse themselves in stimuli (2D, 3D, 360° images, and videos) or entire virtual worlds using extended reality (XR) headsets.

In the Assessment Lab for Person Sensing (ALPS), various variables can be recorded using sensors for individuals, dyads, or groups in natural interactions with a high degree of experimental control over the settings. A highlight here is the permanently installed sensor floor, which enables the smooth recording of movement and gait behavior.
