Immersive virtual environments have long been recognized as ecologically valid tools for empirical research. The ability to control environments down to the last byte enables a shift from, for example, cross-sectional studies to controlled experimentation. Recent advancements have brought this powerful tool beyond sophisticated computer labs, making it accessible to a wider range of researchers. The explosion of research articles related to virtual and augmented reality is truly staggering. 

In this talk, we will explore recent developments in immersive technologies and examine research conducted by Dr. Klippel’s team in the US and the Netherlands. These studies cover diverse topics such as second-language learning, education, food choices and eating behavior, and underwater experiences. Additionally, we will discuss technological advancements that facilitate immersive experiences at scale, enable collaborative activities, and address the challenges of bio-sensory integration. The talk will conclude with a vision for a comprehensive approach to conducting behavioral studies using immersive technologies.
