Research on the perception of orientation and self-motion.
The facility includes specially constructed rooms that can be arranged at different orientations or moved around a stationary or rotating observer, as well as a large field display.
The infrastructure can be booked for use. Some assistance may be available to assist in developing programs to run on these items.

Equipment |
Function |
|---|---|
|
Dymech Tumbling Room (custom-built) |
A fully decorated room that can be rotated in pitch or roll around an observer who can also be rotated. |
|
Dymech Sphere Room (custom-built) |
A spherical surround screen which can be rotated around an observer-vertical axis but with the observer tilted between 0 and 90°. |
|
Christie Edgeless Graphics Geometry (EGG) Display |
A very large surround screen (±110° in all directions) with stereo vision and head tracking. |
|
Moog 6-DOF motion platform |
6-Degree-of-Freedom (DOF) moving platform. Chair for moving people in a controlled way (max. linear travel 50cm, angular ± 30°). |
|
Tumbled Room (custom-built) |
Room built sideways. |
