With the two virtual reality technological platforms Immersia and Immermove, grouped under the name Immerstar, the team has access to high-level scientific facilities. This equipment benefits the research teams of the center and has allowed them to extend their local, national and international collaborations. The Immerstar platform was granted by an Inria funding for the 2015-2019 period which enables several important evolutions. In particular, in 2018, an haptic system covering the entire volume of the Immersia platform has been installed, allowing various configurations from single haptic device usage to dual haptic devices usage with either one or two users. In addition, a motion platform designed to introduce motion feedback in powered wheelchair simulations has also been incorporated (see Figure 2).
