The Radboud Immersive Virtual Environment Research (RIVER) Labs are two Behavioral Science Institute research labs dedicated to experiments in Virtual Reality (VR). However, in 2013 it was decided to make RIVER Lab 1 available for other purposes as well, promoting RIVER Lab 2 as the prime facility for any VR research. The RIVER Labs are managed by Erik van den Berge of the TSG.

Head Mounted Displays

Consult the Head Mounted Displays page to view the specifications of the head mounted displays used in both RIVER Labs.

In RIVER Lab 2, five retro-reflective markers are attached to the HMD for tracking the participant's position and orientation; any internal tracking is disabled.
