LabVIS: Assisted Development
LabVIS: Immersive VR for Therapeutic Research
The VAR Lab is developing LabVIS in collaboration with Federal University of Health Sciences of Porto Alegre (UFCSPA) under the management of Fulbright Scholar Bibiana Mayer Steckel.
LabVIS is an immersive virtual reality experience being designed with future therapeutic applications for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The project is currently in the testing and research phase, with the team exploring how VR environments can support therapy, interaction, and clinical research.
As part of this work, the team is also investigating the use of EEG data collection during immersive VR experiences. Using a BIOPAC EEG cap and AcqKnowledge software, researchers are adapting EEG equipment for use with a head-mounted display to better understand brain activity during VR tasks.
This project brings together neuroscience, rehabilitation, immersive technology, and international collaboration to explore how virtual reality may support future therapeutic tools and research methods.
