July 2024, New Delhi and Bangalore
Are you interested in developing Virtual Reality tools to analyze human performance?
These workshops will cover the online web course, VR Sensor Integration, designed by the workshop leaders and their team at the Terascale All-sensing Research Studio (TARS).
Workshop Goals:
Learn the basics for VR development in Unity
Use physiological sensors through the Delsys API
Merge physiological data with VR to analyze human performance
The skills taught during the workshops will provide a glimpse into the future, where physiological sensing and virtual reality applications intersect.
"Integrating physiological sensors in virtual reality (VR) opens the door to incorporate real-world human behavior into virtual environments for better understanding human performance to enable applications in healthcare, sports science, and digital twinning for training and scaled-up human-robot interaction. Our motivation in creating this course was to ensure that anyone seeking to bridge the gap from VR to real-world human performance can acquire and learn materials in a quick and easy-to-follow fashion, spurring them to engage in rapid multimodal sensor integration in VR."
Dr. Natasha Banerjee and Dr. Sean Banerjee from the Terascale All-sensing Research Studio
