Visit the Virtual Reality Lab as part of the Robotics Institute’s tour of Psychology research facilities on Wednesday 11 November 2026, 13:00–15:00 GMT.

The planned tour begins with Dietmar Heinke’s and Joseph Galea’s laboratory facilities before continuing to the VR Lab in Gisbert Kapp N418. The VR Lab brings together research in virtual and augmented reality, with facilities for tracking, haptics and interactive systems.

Meeting point: please join the group near the ground-floor coffee shop in Gisbert Kapp / 52 Pritchatts Road at 13:00. Dietmar Heinke will meet visitors and accompany the group to the laboratories. Corridor access is controlled, so please meet downstairs rather than going directly to N418. The 13:00–15:00 slot covers the full Psychology tour.

This visit is arranged for Robotics Institute members and coordinated by Steve Davis. If you would like to enquire about joining, please contact Steve Davis before attending.
