This week on ResearchVR we dig deep into VR locomotion from theoretical, practical and technical perspectives.
Daniel Sproll, co-founder at Realities.io, started his virtual reality adventure “before it was cool” – over five years ago. Starting in psychology research using VR at Eyespace Lab, Sproll participated in projects such as Colosse and the Audi VR Showroom Experience. He joins us on this week’s podcast.
