A match made in heaven’
Storks Robotics Lab is a student-founded start-up operating from the DemonstratorLab on the VU Amsterdam campus. Storks develops systems that can measure emissions such as nitrogen in a cheap, non-invasive and sustainable way. And there is definitely a demand for this because the systems currently in use are often (too) expensive and/or disruptive to nature. From April up until July, six students from the Mechanical Engineering programme at VU Amsterdam will do their undergraduate thesis at Storks.
The impact of interface novelty in VR experiments
In the field of human behaviour research, Head-Mounted Display Virtual Reality (HMD-VR) has rapidly emerged as a powerful tool. However, its growing popularity is accompanied by a unique challenge – the novelty it presents to research participants. Participants may become fascinated and curious simply because they are new to the VR interface, regardless how the VR environment has been designed. This can in turn bias research outcomes.
