Immersive and motion analysis experiments

The Immermove experimental platform features a large-scale, high-resolution immersive VR display (a four-sided CAVE, 12×4×4 m12×4×4m) housed within a fully equipped sports gymnasium (30×20 m30×20m). It integrates advanced motion capture systems and is designed for interdisciplinary applications, supporting research in fields such as biomechanics, robotics, cognitive sciences, and ergonomics. 

The platform is used to investigate how individuals move, perceive, and interact within virtual environments, with applications ranging from rehabilitation and sports training to vehicle simulation and human-robot interaction. By bridging motion technology with immersive environments, Immermove contributes to both fundamental research and applied innovations across multiple domains.

Immermove is coupled with Immersia, the VR platform at Irisa-Inria, forming a unique collaborative immersive infrastructure known as ImmerSTAR. You can dowload the flyer here.

We gratefully acknowledge the support of the French State and the Brittany Region through the CPER program, and the ANR EquipEx+ Continuum, which have been instrumental in the development of the ImmerSTAR platform.
