🚨 Come work with us! A 3-year postdoc position is available in my group, focusing on gaze interactions in real and virtual environments. The job ad is only in German, since a certain level of German proficiency is required. Please share widely! @biodgps-dgpa.bsky.social

Purple?

Felix Klotzsche @flxklotz.bsky.social · Jun 22

Thx!
And wow, 👀 on the details. 🖤
Some thoughts:
(1) Delays: Problem is that Focus, Quest, PICO do not allow us online (single trial) lag correction.
(2) Precision: agreed, see SDs below.
(3) Accurcy: "best of 3", imo, is more of a misnomer than actual bias.
More details in the soon 🤞preprint.

What a nice first time to publicly speak about EDIA (@ediatoolbox.bsky.social).
#VSS2025 is just amazing once more and has such a great crowd to discuss scientific XR & eye tracking with.

Thanks @thefirstfloor.bsky.social for all the work behind the scenes in the trenches of Unity.

EDIA @ediatoolbox.bsky.social · May 20

📢 Huge thanks to everyone who visited our EDIA poster at #VSS2025
We had a packed 4.5 hours of great discussions on XR research tools & eye tracking.

✨ Stay tuned, open-source release coming soon!

We are happy to share our new paper (under review) on human face perception!

In this study, we investigated how face similarity judgments are affected by dynamic 3D vs. static 2D conditions 🗿.

To protect the HMD from the gel, I'm using disposable shower caps (like the ones you find in hotels) on top of the EEG cap.
I have not yet found a satisfying way how to reduce pressure on frontal electrodes. Colleagues who are doing VR+fNIRS have modded an HMD, cutting out some of the housing.

Are you conducting experiments in #VirtualReality?

Sometimes one wants to present a virtual copy of a lab/room that is exactly aligned to the real room (think of spatial audio, haptic interactions,...)

We've just released a plugin (#UnrealEngine) that helps ypu with exact this
