The Mixed Reality Laboratory of TU Wien (MR Lab) is an innovative research and teaching facility that enables versatile, high-quality, interdisciplinary cutting-edge research and innovative teaching with state-of-the-art infrastructure in the field of mixed reality and all areas of application. The main functionality of MRLab is to provide a large walkable virtual environment with high-quality visual, auditory, and haptic stimuli. For this purpose, the MRLab will contain a 3D CAVE system that surrounds a user with four high-resolution LED walls with 3D stereo rendering. Additionally, a high-precision tracking system in MRLab ensures interactivity of VR visualizations. The laboratory will also contain a 192-channel audio system to surround a user with spatial sound. Finally, numerous VR/AR headsets will be available for researchers and students.
