Project Overview

PERFECT aims to be the first step towards the creation of highly reliable multisensory virtual environments for training and simulation that delivers Perceptually Equivalent stimuli and thus enables the certification of trainees using only Virtual Reality (VR) technologies. This project represents a multidisciplinary approach where the existing knowledge within the research team can be explored to its full potential from the computer science, psychology and biomedical fields.

By achieving the PERFECT objectives, we will be a step closer to achieve our long term goal and thus have an important impact on how VR can help people to train in a safer and affordable way while making sure they will perform as expected when faced with a real situation.
