How to conduct behavioral experiments ethically in VR? Learn more in our next #InVirtuo talk this Friday at 2 p.m., when Dr. Konstantinos Armaos (@bachlab.bsky.social) and Clemens Uhing (@iwe-bonn.bsky.social) from our consortium talk about this challenge and how they approach it in their research.

Today we are welcoming @derguenther.bsky.social to our #InVirtuo seminar. He is going to talk (in German) about design choices, ethics and the role of the perception of authenticity for VR applications, based on his empirical research of VR use in museums and at memorial sites.
Interesting talk on the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and #VRresearch
🤔Does VR really build empathy? Find out in our next InVirtuo Seminar, where we welcome Dr. Charles Rathkopf @charles-rathkopf.bsky.social ( @fz-juelich.de) for a discussion of the #empathymachine hypothesis.

Congratulations to our consortium member, Prof. Dominik Bach! We are looking forward to learn more about the VR-compatible OPMEG goggles, and see them in action real soon. 🥽
Prof. Dr. Christina Hunger-Schoppe and PhD student Tobias van Bebber (Universität Witten/Herdecke) will present their ongoing research from their project "Efficacy and Experience of System Constellation Seminars in Virtual Reality (SYSCO-VR)".
👉 More about the project: www.uni-wh.de/en/efficacy-...
🛑 Please note - This week's session will take place earlier than usual (starting at 10:30 a.m.) and at a different location (room 2.025).
How effective are systemic constellations in #virtualreality? On December 12, this Friday, our next guest speakers at the #InVirtuo Seminar hail from the field of #clinicalpsychology and #psychotherapy and can speak to this question.
On Wednesday, several of our affiliated research groups participated in the #openhouse of University of Bonn: Visitors could examine the light stage, test a VR scenario, or listen in on the latest assessment of our ethicists. We had a blast. Thanks to everyone who dropped by to learn about our work!
We congratulate our Co-PI and #InVirtuo consortium member, Prof. Dr. Dr. Ahmad Aziz to his new appointment!
We congratulate our Co-PI and #Invirtuo consortium member Prof. Mario Botsch (#TUDortmund) for getting this project off the ground.

#VRavatars #inclusion #queering #bodies #crip #LGBTQ
How do you make VR avatars more inclusive? This week, our media studies researchers in the consortium will present observations and preliminary results of their participatory research with queer and disabled activists on the process of photogrammetric avatar creation.
[2/3] This Friday, Prof Oliver Deussen (@uni-konstanz.de) is going to talk about how he and his team use VR technology to create a highly controlled environment, in which they research how different animals use visual inputs for movement decisions.
