Fascinating! But a question for those in rodent #neuroscience work: would there be any advantage to this #VR headset over the traditional approach, with the rodent surrounded by displays or projector screens driven by a game engine running on a PC?

@philiphubbard I have zero PhDs but I got the vibe that the more immersive experience afforded by the VR headset enhanced the research 🤷‍♀️ The team invites discussion here: https://github.com/sn-lab/mouseVRheadset/discussions

(so you could ask them!)
