HVS Image has 40 years’ experience in animal behavior analysis, with over 1400 cited papers and two Nobel prize winners, and has combined this with 25 years’ experience of human behavior and psychophysics to create the highly immersive HVS 6D VR environments for humans.
HVS 6D VR features full stereo 3D with real world physics, allowing almost any experiment in any physical environment to be created in minutes (or from a growing library of worlds and objects).
This ranges from replicating animal tests with humans (e.g. Morris Water Maze, Open Field Test, Novel Object Recognition), to studying behavior in virtual forests, suburbs and homes (researching spatial learning, anxiety etc.) with built in analysis and MATLAB export.
The interface modes include headsets, gamepads, free walking and the HVS omnidirectional treadmill, on a high power HVS 6D VR workstation or laptop.
