SightLab VR Documentation

The SightLab package is a versatile and accessible tool for creating VR experiments using 3D models and 360-degree media. It is uniquely tailored for both non-programmers and researchers seeking advanced functionalities. SightLab includes an intuitive, GUI-based experiment generator to enable easy setup and operation,  an interactive session replay mode for in-depth after-action reviews, and a comprehensive library of templates and examples to extend functionality. This application is a supplement to Vizard.

Sightlab Multi-User allows you to run multiple users in the full Sightlab VR experiment. If you are running on separate networks you would need to connect via a VPN using a third party software such as Teamviewer (see instructions).
