Use Cases: Research
“Virtual reality allows for highly-detailed observations,
detailed observations, accurate behavior measurements, and
systematic environmental manipulations under controlled
laboratory circumstances. It therefore has the potential to
be a valuable research tool for studies in human-
environment interactions such as building usability studies
and post- and well as pre-occupancy building evaluations in
architectural research and practice.”
– Computers, Environment and Urban Systems, October 2015

“While new technologies, advances in data analytics, wearables and
other devices offer promise in supporting the development of new
medicines and ways to measure the effectiveness of our therapies,
how we use existing technologies to transform the experience of
explaining our research will also have a meaningful impact – and
innovation, regardless of where it emerges, will create opportunities
to transform how we see the future.”
