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 The equipment will replace outdated and unstable equipment currently in use, and greatly improve the computational foundation of the virtual environments laboratory.The supported research has two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 IOWACISE研究资源的James Cremeruniversity：研究人类行为的虚拟环境实验室的仪器，爱荷华大学将购买支持有关使用虚拟环境作为人类行为研究的媒介的多学科研究的设备。设备的主要组件包括用于现有的沉浸式显示环境中的基于PC的，实时的图像生成系统，以及用于虚拟环境的仪器自行车和轮椅接口的硬件。该设备将替换目前正在使用的过时和不稳定的设备，并大大改善了虚拟环境实验室的计算基础。支持的研究具有两个主要的势头：（1）一种旨在提高场景建模技术的计算组件，以满足实验的特殊经验的特殊需求，以满足可复制的经验，以适应受试者的行为和（2）实验性的骑行行为，以实验性地进行骑行骑行。将在虚拟环境中进行的实验与在实际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使用。这项工作综合了有关高保真模拟的研究，控制模拟药物的复杂行为，人为因素和发育心理学的研究。这项研究将推进虚拟环境技术，实验方法和模拟器验证，并增加对儿童伤害主要原因的理解。
