About

VRlandia is a multi-room lab space, a collection of cutting-edge VR/AR/XR equipment, and most importantly a community of researchers that focus on XR projects. As a community we seek to research the next frontier of XR related developments and help students do the same.

VRlandia is housed in, and hosted by, the GT School of Psychology. There are powerful computers, high-end VR/AR headsets, a 360-degree OMNI treadmill, tracked spaces, several driving simulators, and all kinds of associated research gear (cameras, audio equipment, etc., etc.).

A wide variety of projects are underway, ranging from building “traditional” VR environments, to creating a digital twin of the Psychology Building, to the future of work in VR, to AR wayfinding, to studies of autonomous driving, training in VR, and much much more. We also leverage VRlandia facilities to enhance GT courses–many classes use VRlandia for demos, educational modules, projects, in-class research, training, and more.

Member faculty manage and make use of VRlandia, and their students are active in all kinds of projects. If you are interested in getting involved in a VR/AR/XR/driving research project, contact the VRlandia leadership.
