We present VREX, a free open-source Unity toolbox for virtual reality research in the fields of experimental psychology and neuroscience.
Different study protocols about perception, attention, cognition and memory can be constructed using the toolbox. VREX provides a procedural generation of (interconnected) rooms that can be automatically furnished with a click of a button. VREX includes a menu system for creating and storing experiments with different stages. Researchers can combine different rooms and environments to perform end-to-end experiments including different testing situations and data collection. For fine-tuned control VREX also comes with an editor where all the objects in the virtual room can be manually placed and adjusted in the 3D world.
VREX simplifies the generation and setup of complicated VR scenes and experiments for researchers. VREX can be downloaded and easily installed from vrex.mozello.com.
我们展示了 VREX，这是一个免费的开源 Unity 工具包，用于实验心理学和神经科学领域的虚拟现实研究。
该工具包可用于构建不同的感知、注意力、认知和记忆研究方案。VREX 提供了一种（互联）房间的程序化生成方式，只需点击一下按钮即可自动布置。VREX 包括一个用于创建和存储具有不同阶段的实验的菜单系统。研究人员可以结合不同的房间和环境来执行端到端的实验，包括不同的测试情况和数据收集。为了进行精细控制，VREX 还附带一个编辑器，可在其中手动放置和调整虚拟房间中的所有对象。
VREX 简化了复杂 VR 场景和实验的生成和设置，供研究人员使用。VREX 可从 vrex.mozello.com 下载并轻松安装。
