Diving into Virtual Reality

What is this Virtual Reality thing?

Hi everyone, how is everyone doing? Currently, we are doing experiments related to Virtual Reality, therefore we wanted to let you all know about this, we suppose many of you must have seen it in movies or in real life, in movie theatres or if you are living under a stone, we are here to help you. 

So, first of all, what is virtual reality? Virtual reality is the use of computer technology to create simulated environments. so, it is a tech, which lets you have an experience that your body can't feel but your brain can and that can brain will let your whole body perceive the virtual environment. 




Have you ever thought about why do you see a 3d image instead of two different images while wearing the device? 

This is because when two different images appear in front of your eyes, the brain perceives them as one coherent image which generates a 3d view and you feel like, it's happening for real. If you also want to experience virtual reality, you are wholeheartedly invited to our lab. 



Now, let's learn about the different types of VR categories,

The three main VR categories are the following: 

Non-Immersive Virtual Reality: This category is often overlooked as VR simply because it’s so common. Non-immersive VR technology features a computer-generated virtual environment where the user simultaneously remains aware and controlled by their physical environment. Video games are a prime example of non-immersive VR. 

Semi-Immersive Virtual Reality: This type of VR provides an experience partially based in a virtual environment. This type of VR makes sense for educational and training purposes with graphical computing and large projector systems, such as flight simulators for pilot trainees. 

Fully Immersive Virtual Reality: Right now, there are no completely immersive VR technologies, but advances are so swift that they may be right around the corner. This type of VR generates the most realistic simulation experience, from sight to sound to sometimes even olfactory sensations. Car racing games are an example of immersive virtual reality that gives the user the sensation of speed and driving skills. Developed for gaming and other entertainment purposes, VR use in other sectors is increasing.

About our Mentor

Professor C.M. Markan, a Physicist by degree and Cognitive Scientist by heart. Sir has been actively pursuing the field of cognitive science for more than ten years.  His academic journey can be traced in this link which describes his work in the field of physics and cognitive science:. Sir has been an integral part of the University for last thirty years, having received his graduate degree from the same University, he is giving it back to the institute by establishing world-class cognitive science research here.  More details about Sir can be found on the university website .  Sir overseeing our preparations for a visit of German Professors to our lab. Sir sharing our work with our visitors who were fascinated by our work. Group picture with Prof. Wolfgang from University of Kiel, Germany

Publications from our lab

Publications that have come out from the lab have been invaluable for the field of cognitive science.

Want to control your overpowering boss? Bring her to our lab!

Cognitive Science enthusiasts at DEI, Agra welcome you to their lab to help you discover the hidden potential of the piece of meat on your head.   Every day, we bring new problems to our table that help us demystify the science of how our brain does it all! In pursuit of getting answers to our questions about the brain's potential, we discovered the student-friendly neuroscience product kit offered by  Backyard Brains , USA.  In this  'neuroscience for everyone' kit , we find interesting tools made out of simple Arduino-based designs. The first one that we discuss here today is the  Human-human interface  (HHI). You must have heard about Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), here is the new thing, HHI which lets two humans be interfaced through simple wire connectors.  HHI is a small, portable device that works on simple principles of electricity. The muscular power produced by the 'controller' person on clinching their fist with these electro...
