Virtual Human Interaction Lab Parent: Stanford University

Virtual Human Interaction Lab (VHIL) at Stanford University aims to understand the dynamics and implications of interactions among people in immersive virtual reality simulations (VR), and other forms of human digital representations in media, communication systems, and games. Its work is centered on using empirical, behavioral science methodologies to explore people as they interact in these digital worlds. However, oftentimes it is necessary to develop new gesture tracking systems, three-dimensional modeling techniques, or agent-behavior algorithms in order to answer these basic social questions. Consequently, VHIL also engages in research geared towards developing new ways to produce these VR simulations.
