VR/Immersive Solutions with Physiology Data • Create virtual worlds that are impossible or prohibitively expensive in the real world Synchronize VR events with physiological response data Multimodal stimulation: visual, auditory, olfactory, haptic, and electric Record and analyze physiological, $0k9^M„ i!H€„ behavioral, and subjective response data

Elevator Down Virtual Reality (VR) allows you to tightly control the experimental conditions and design experiments that are otherwise impossible or prohibitively expensive in the real world. Immersive environments can take the subject anywhere and let you unlock the boundaries of your physical lab space and budget. Immerse your subjects in a BIOPAC VR world and record physiological data as the virtual environment influences the subject. Applications are varied and include Psychology Biomechanics & Kinesiology Healthcare Computer Modeling/Simulation Education Training: hazard, medical, etc. Ergonomics...

Interfacing a VR workstation with a BIOPAC data acquisition system adds a new dimension to your research by combining objective measures to a tightly controlled experimental protocol. • Remote Monitoring option provides subjects with a greater degree of freedom and allows them to move around within the virtual world • The VR interface maintains subject isolation from all electrical sources Physiological data is captured from subjects as they are immersed in the world. The Remote Monitoring system provides four channels of physiological monitoring and is configurable to record any combination...

Complete Solutions for Your VR Lab Combine the sophistication and performance of BIOPAC research systems with the power and flexibility of our new VR platform. Use MP150 hardware, AcqKnowledge® software, and a VR Workstation—which includes executable VR worlds and the VizardTM VR Toolkit—to run or create immersive environments with physiological data for life science research. MP150 data acquisition provides: • High resolution—16 bit • High speed—up to 400 kHz aggregate • Variable sample rates (analog & calculation channels)—record signals at unique sample rates • 16 analog inputs and 2 independent...

BIOPAC software also supports video synchronization so it is possible to video the entire experiment and correlate the subject’s movements and reactions to the physiological data*. AcqKnowledge® allows you to advance the video to a certain point and locate the corresponding time point in the physiological data file, or locate a point in the physiological recording and jump to the corresponding point in the video. Vizard™ VR Toolkit is everything you need to build complete, interactive 3D content. Designed for rapid prototyping, Vizard™ gets you creating fast and provides the resources to deploy...

Virtual Reality Applications Virtual Reality Applications BIOPAC VR Workstations will enhance any application that demands complex stimulus delivery and an evolving environment. PSYCHOLOGY Social Psychology. Test a hypothesis with full control of a range of factors including the physical appearance of the virtual world and the behavior and appearance of others without sacrificing realism. Implement impossible manipulations like changing the race and gender of participants. Spatial Cognition. Create complex environments for studying spatial behavior, navigation and memory. Vision. Investigate...

Virtual Reality Applications Virtual Reality Applications BIOMETRICS AND KINESIOLOGY Study the postural responses to the perceived motion of a virtual scene while obtaining physiological measures like EEG, EMG, goniometry and acceleration. For example, evaluate brain or stroke damage. Manipulate the available sensory information concerning task-relevant objects in the world. HEALTH CARE Use virtual reality to train medical staff and assist with surgery, pre-operative planning, assisted surgery and remote surgery. Employ virtual reality to research the treatment of PTSD, phobias, drug dependencies,...

VRVR Worlds—use as included ormodified Worlds—As is or modify BIOPAC virtual worlds are ready to run without programming. The source code is also available for user customization and further development of the world (see page 12). Two tutorial demonstration worlds— Iowa Gambling Task and Pit—are detailed and fully documented, including source code, to greatly assist users who wish to create or modify the existing environments and start creating their own. BIOPAC has a selection of compatible 3D graphical models and sound files to further expedite the development process. The VR software uses...

Customworlds available—or create by you Custom VR VR—or Created your own PUBLIC SPEAKING In this social anxiety environment, participants deliver a speech from behind a podium. The speech text is presented on a display on the podium and can be scrolled via a joystick. Audience size can be controlled. The audience state or attitude—e.g., bored, interested, rude, or indifferent—is set by the researcher during the experiment. Audience behavior is defined using avatar animations and is not limited to the animations included with the environment. CUE REACTIVITY Participants are exposed to a sequence...
