XR Built for Science
Built for research, not recreation. Most off-the-shelf XR systems aren’t designed for systematic data collection. Your studies need tools purpose-built for scientific rigor.
Research Happens Here
Custom Support
Design protocols with scientific rigor
Move beyond gaming and instructional limitations. Your research will benefit from flexible systems with built-in support for biometric data collection, dyadic interactions, and reproducible protocols.
Pipelines
Collect data you can use
You’ll have access to pipelines that support reproducibility, custom data annotation, and seamless handoff to analysis tools in R, Python, and more.
Ethical Standards
Streamline approval processes
Your research will clear ethical review faster and more thoroughly. You’ll have access to IRB-ready templates and documentation, along with tested participant safety protocols and secure data management systems.
Academic Excellence
Access institutional support and collaboration
Connect to the broader XR ecosystem across the University of Michigan. The combined tools, knowledge, and infrastructure will expand your capabilities and help you explore new applications of XR in your research.
