项目摘要

EIA-0130864 James CremerUniversity of IowaCISE Research Resources: Instrumentation for a Virtual Environment Laboratory to Study Human BehaviorThe University of Iowa will purchase equipment supporting multidisciplinary research on the use of virtual environments as a medium for the study of human behavior. The primary components of the equipment include a PC-based, real-time image generation system for use in the existing immersive display environment, and hardware for instrumented bicycle and wheelchair interfaces to the virtual environment. The equipment will replace outdated and unstable equipment currently in use, and greatly improve the computational foundation of the virtual environments laboratory.The supported research has two primary thrusts: (1) a computational component directed at advancing scenario modeling techniques to meet the special needs of experiments for replicable experiences that adapt to subject behavior and (2) an experimental component investigating children's bicycle riding behavior in simulated traffic. Experiments conducted in virtual environments will be compared with experiments conducted in real environments to validate the use of simulators as laboratories for the study of human behavior. The work integrates research on high-fidelity simulation, control of complex behaviors of simulated agents, human factors, and developmental psychology. This research will advance virtual environment technology, experimental methods, and simulator validation, and increase the understanding of a leading cause of childhood injuries.

EIA-0130864 James Cremer 爱荷华大学 CISE 研究资源：研究人类行为的虚拟环境实验室仪器爱荷华大学将购买设备，支持使用虚拟环境作为人类行为研究媒介的多学科研究。该设备的主要组件包括用于现有沉浸式显示环境的基于 PC 的实时图像生成系统，以及用于仪表自行车和轮椅与虚拟环境接口的硬件。该设备将取代目前使用的过时且不稳定的设备，并极大地改善虚拟环境实验室的计算基础。支持的研究有两个主要重点：（1）旨在推进场景建模技术的计算组件，以满足虚拟环境实验室的特殊需求。适应受试者行为的可复制体验的实验；(2) 调查儿童在模拟交通中骑自行车行为的实验部分。在虚拟环境中进行的实验将与在真实环境中进行的实验进行比较，以验证模拟器作为研究人类行为的实验室的用途。这项工作整合了高保真模拟、模拟主体复杂行为的控制、人为因素和发展心理学的研究。这项研究将推进虚拟环境技术、实验方法和模拟器验证，并加深对儿童伤害主要原因的了解。
