Ouvrai offers an unparalleled advantage when it comes to studying movement and interaction in virtual reality, allowing you to easily design studies that capture exceptionally high-quality kinematic data at up to 120 Hz, including the position and orientation of the head and handheld controllers. Remote participants use their personal VR devices to access your studies over the web, making Ouvrai a perfect solution for studying human movement and motor control. If you are willing to learn the basics of JavaScript, our template experiments will have you coding up your own online VR studies in no time!
Ouvrai sounds like ouvrir, the French verb meaning "to open", because it opens access to high-quality online studies of human behavior for researchers and participants around the world. It’s also a (partial) acronym for Online Unmoderated Virtual Reality — the new type of study that Ouvrai makes possible.
