About the Lab and the 210° Igloo Projection System:
Floor space in the lab is at a premium, so it has been proposed a 210° screen that can be easily stored then quickly erected whenever it is needed. Meanwhile, the projection and audio system are permanently fixed, meaning even quicker set-up times and little need for warping. The simulator is primarily used to research reaction times and decision-making in sport-related situations. By using digital media to immerse participants in unfamiliar surroundings, psychological effects can also be assessed. The benefits of the system have been covered by Education Technology magazine.
The Simulation Suite is primarily used for research purposes and to teach SESAME students about research. For inquiries about the Lab, please contact Dr. Nicholas Smeeton. To learn more about other simulation facilities at SESAME, please click here.
