Stanford Virtual Human Interaction Lab

The Stanford Virtual Human Interaction Lab (VHIL) is a research facility dedicated to studying how people interact with virtual environments and digital avatars. At VHIL, researchers explore the psychological and social effects of virtual reality (VR) experiences on users. This includes understanding how VR can influence behavior, empathy, and communication. The lab aims to innovate and improve technologies for applications in areas like education, healthcare, and entertainment, ultimately enhancing our understanding of human interaction in both virtual and real-world contexts.
