Note to self: Add a fallback idle animation for when the headset is removed…

My outfit for today’s first live demo of our virtual Museum. I’ll be giving a remote tour from Barcelona for participants at the “Freedom of Expression in XR” workshop at the Council of Europe, where three of our lab members are present as experts today.

It's been a while since I showed screenshots of new environment, but I was not lazy in the meantime. May I present: The Museum. Optimized for Quest 3 in standalone with currently up to four users. #VRresearch

My way of testing multiplayer scenarios. 😅

"If the avatar lags, it is not my own: Readiness potential as an objective biomarker of embodiment in virtual reality" Interesting approach to use readiness potentials to measure body ownership.

Fingers crossed!
