The Radboud Immersive Virtual Environment Research (RIVER) Lab is an advanced Virtual Reality lab.

Physical Properties

The lab measures 8.0 x 6.6 meters, with a usable tracking area of about 45m2. The large truss framework allows for flexible mounting of tracking systems and other equipment. The floor is covered in 50x50cm carpet tiles.

Equipment

Valve Index Head Mounted Display

Below is the current (October 2022) standard lab setup. However, VR equipment is often changed or adapted for specific experiments. If you have conducted a VR experiment in the past, or are currently conducting a VR experiment, please contact the lab manager for information on the exact specifications used for your experiment.

Head Mounted Display

A Valve Index head mounted display (HMD) is provided. For specifications, see Head Mounted Displays. The HMD is tethered to the PC on top of the truss framework. Cable length is sufficient for users to reach all corners of the lab. Four Lighthouse 2.0 tracking units are used for tracking the HMD and any additional trackers. Two hand controllers (left & right handed) are available.


Usage

New users will have to follow a course to get familiar with operating the lab. Please contact the lab manager to make an appointment.
