    In this project, a VR application is being developed to help UMCG doctors deal with stressful situations. The development process of the training and the subject of stress management are discussed. It also demonstrates how a breathing exercise can help reduce stress. This project was realized in collaboration with the CIT and the Bounce Back Lab.

    At the Department of Human Movement Sciences of the University of Groningen, we study movement, perturbation of movement and interaction between individuals. In collaboration with the CIT, a virtual environment has been developed in which a football player has to intercept an opponent's ball. Position data of arms, legs and head, collected with Vicon (motion capture) are combined with position data collected from the Head Mounted Display. This collective data is communicated to Unity where it is used to place the footballer player in a virtual football stadium and to track and display his position and movements in real time.

XR HUB

Every two months, the XR Hub organizes a meeting for teachers and researchers from the University of Groningen to share knowledge and experiences about the development and use of Extended Reality applications: augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), virtual reality (VR) and 3D.
