Usage Guidelines
This demo is also intended to serve as a tutorial on how to construct a virtual reality experiment. It can be fully modified and has been designed in a modular format with extensive comments to allow reuse of parts in other experiments. Code is written in the Python programming language and extensive support on programming with Python is provided in the software package and user forums. 3D models from the demo can be reused within the VR platform (only).
Objectives
For example, in the study of addictions, this paradigm could be used to investigate the relationship between craving, physiological response, and the way the stimulus is presented in the environment.
Overview
The participant is exposed to a sequence of rooms along a corridor that contain different stimulation environments. Four neutral environments and four smoking environments are included, and the environment can be expanded. The number of rooms as well as the objects in the rooms can be modified. The participant does not actively navigate the environment.
Data analysis
Digital markers in the physiological record indicate when the participant is exposed to what condition, which allows for automated data analysis.

VR Research System
Wired | VR – Cue Reactivity
VR Research System with BIOPAC wireless physiological data recording—MP160 System and BioNomadix—and a turnkey VizMove VR System (seated, standing, walking, or projection) plus the biofeedfack link to tightly sync immersive events & subject's real-time response.
VR Biofeedback
Wired | VR – Cue Reactivity
BIOPAC solutions for biofeedback and virtual reality (VR) can utilize the two-way communications interface for VR. The interface sends marker information from the virtual world to the MP Data Acquisition System and includes the biofeedback data transfer protocol for real-time digital communication, which allows the participant’s physiological feedback to control the VR world.
VizMove turnkey VR System plus biofeedback link to tightly sync immersive events and real-time physiological response data from your existing MP160 Research System—change the world based on subject's response. Choose Seated, Standing, Walking, or Projection VR.
