Virtual Environments & Cognitive Training Research (VECToR) Lab
Exploring Virtual Environments and Cognitive Training for a Smarter, Connected Future
Welcome to VECToR Lab
The VECToR Lab is a multidisciplinary research group focused on human–technology interactions with a special emphasis on Extended Reality (XR) and human–non-human teaming.
Our research explores how virtual environments and cognitive training can improve learning, collaboration, and performance across diverse contexts, from classrooms to fieldwork.
We bring together experts in psychology, computer science, education, and engineering to design and evaluate technologies that bridge the gap between humans and intelligent systems.
Key Research Areas:
- Virtual Reality (VR)
- Extended Reality (XR)
- Human-Robot Teaming
- Human-Animal Teaming
- Educational Technology
