Inside Immersion – The Immersive Reality Lab Podcast

The Immersive Reality Lab Podcast

How can technology actually help people? Each episode explores one research project of the Immersive Reality Lab at Hamm-Lippstadt University of Applied Sciences and the people who work on it: what the project does, how it works and who it is for, along with the user research, accessibility, privacy and ethical questions that come with building systems for real people.

Season one covers ARiadne, DIDYMOS-XR, DigiOnTrack, SilentBedMonitor and MIA-PROM. A new episode is released on the first day of every month. The episodes are in English.
