We are a collaboration between the Uni Bonn, the University Clinic Bonn, the DZNE and the TU Dortmund, funded by the state of NRW. We develop a new methodology for researching human interaction in VR environments. #invirtuo #virtualhumans
⏰Brief reminder: Our next hybrid talk in the #InVirtuo lecture series is today 14:00 in room 3.035b (Computer Science Building, @unibonn.bsky.social ). Dr. Alice Jacobs is going to give us an introduction of how XR technology is currently used in patient care at the University Hospital Bonn.

The authors analyze how XR platforms configure and standardize our bodies through tracking and APIs, and how this plays into monetization. Dive into the dynamics of "interfacing" processes of modern HMDs and read the full open access article (in German) here: doi.org/10.25969/med...
New publication from our InVirtuo network! 🎉
“Between Consenting Avatars” (Ethics & Information Technology) by Clemens Uhing & Bert Heinrichs explores how a consent-based approach can reshape how we evaluate actions in VR.
A key step toward more nuanced #VREthics 👇
