Research & Development
The R&D team is representative of various fields of science. The members of this interdisciplinary team are psychologists, cognitive scientists, informaticians, and developers working together on solutions which are then implemented into the products of the Simpro and Nano Games brands. The members of the R&D team are currently working on issues of virtual characters, realism of simulation, evoking emotions in a virtual environment and the effectiveness of virtual training. They also ensure that our simulators are simulator sickness-free.
The members of the R&D team are the authors of numerous scientific publications. You can see the list of these publications below.
