Live AI Workplace Research Agent – LAWR(a) v0.1

Live AI Workplace Research Agent – LAWR(a) v0.1 is the first functional prototype of a live conversational AI agent developed in the ERRL lab for immersive workplace-research education in virtual reality. Built on the VizardVR framework, the system integrates real-time speech interaction through Deepgram Nova 3 speech-to-text, local response generation via Ollama qwen2.5:7b, and natural spoken […]

New ERRL’s Teaching Scenario – When Home Becomes the Office

Teaching Scenario V5, Home Office Environment (When Home Becomes the Office), is a new VR lesson that starts with a short narrated mini lecture with slides, delivered through an upgraded avatar lecturer, and then drops you into a realistic home office where the teaching point becomes something you feel. After the intro, you find a […]

Three Foundational VR Research Scenarios from ERRL

ERRL is a research hub at the Prague University of Economics and Business (VSE) that brings extended reality technologies into the core of empirical inquiry and advanced pedagogy. The lab’s research cluster is oriented toward designing and running VR and AR studies that would be difficult to execute through conventional methods, while also enabling rich […]

Exploring VR-supported teaching at ERRL

At ERRL, we are testing what teaching looks like when it moves into VR as a serious instructional medium, not as a novelty. We have built early teaching prototypes that run as guided lessons with slides, narration, and an avatar presenter, while interactive objects appear exactly when they matter in the content. The aim is […]

We are operational (sort of)!

We have completed the first equipment takeover for the Extended Reality Research Lab (ERRL). The new baseline includes 12 Meta Quest 3S headsets for standalone VR and mixed reality experiences, 12 high-performance HP OMEN 16 MAX laptops for development and data work, a 65-inch display for demonstrations and observation, and a projector for presentations and […]

Investigating Cognitive Load in Spatial Computing Workspaces

To illustrate the capabilities of the Extended Realities Research Lab we present a theoretical framework for a potential study investigating cognitive load in spatial computing workspaces. A candidate experiment could evaluate the efficacy of augmented reality interfaces compared to traditional multi-monitor configurations for data-intensive analytical tasks. In such a study participants would wear optical see-through […]

LAVIER Network

We’re putting together a European network of laboratories for advanced virtual immersion and experimental research! Here’s the idea current idea, with the network being in its early developmental stages – for more (and in case interested for joining the network), please feel free to contact the lab’s director, Marko (marko.orel(at)vse.cz).

We got the keys from our lab

Finally got our hands on the keys today – we’re looking at two connected lab spaces and plenty of flexible furniture to work with! The foldable tables and rolling chairs mean we can set things up just how we need them – see a handful of sneak peak pictures below. Our equipment’s arriving in June, […]
