SensoXR Platform

Our platform brings together all our software and hardware developments allowing 6DoFs multisensory experiences in XR, and user behaviour acquisition and analysis. It complements the virtual reality equipment of the Centrale Lyon ENISE technology platform located at St-Etienne, France.

The experimental room has a surface of 30 m2. It is equipped with:

  • a high-quality stereoscopic screen
  • state-of-the-art VR/MR/AR HMDs
  • infrared tracking cameras for high-quality motion capture

Regarding the multisensory aspect of our room, we have installed or/and developed:

  • 32 speakers for high fidelity spatialized sound
  • portable olfactive display (Nebula, by our research group) and a state-of-the-art commercial portable olfactive display
  • diverse devices for both local (developed thanks to a collaboration with the INL lab, CNRS, Lyon, France), and global thermoception (commercial hardware, home-made software)
  • various prototypes for tactile stimuli.

About behaviour recording and analysis, it should be highlighted that our software developments include PLUME, an open-source software toolbox (PLUME Recorder, PLUME Viewer, PLUME Python) that allows for the exhaustive record of XR behavioral data, their offline interactive replay and analysis, and their easy sharing. In addition, work-in-progress developments currently focus on audio and thermal stimuli.
