    Our lab brings music therapy to the metaverse
    When in-person sessions are not possible, music therapy should not stop. Our lab has developed the first immersive metaverse system that enables music therapists to interact remotely with their patients (watch a demo video), even when patients cannot leave home for serious physical or psychological reasons. We designed and validated the virtual reality system through a team of music therapists, clinical psychologists, and computer scientists. The scientific article with all the details has just been published by the international journal Human Behavior and Emerging Technologies.

    Yoga in 3D augmented reality vs. traditional 2D videos
    Traditional video tutorials are a popular way to learn yoga, but limited depth perception, small instructor size, and fixed camera angle can make it hard for users to replicate poses or feel connected to the instructor. Augmented Reality (AR) offers an alternative: 3D “holographic” instructors (watch demo). We conducted the first user study comparing a yoga lesson delivered in full 3D AR with a traditional 2D video of the same lesson. Results, just published in the Virtual Reality journal, show significantly higher scores in users’ perceived empathy, behavioral involvement, technology acceptance, intrinsic motivation, and self-perceived yoga competence.
