Experiments in Large Urban Areas
In 1998, construction began on a virtual reality laboratory for parallel studies on navigation and orientation in a complex real area and in a corresponding virtual environment. The virtual environment was gradually expanded and today it is possible to move around in an immersive virtual environment in just the same way as a pedestrian would do in reality. VR provides detailed a detailed reproduction of the campus of UniBw M.
Test subjects can be trained and tested both on the real-world UniBw M campus and in the “Neubiberg” VR environment.
