Hasselt University Opens Groundbreaking VR Motion Lab

The Faculty of Rehabilitation Sciences at UHasselt proudly presents its MOVElab—a high-tech research lab housed in a 300-degree dome, featuring a central motion platform. “Inside the dome, we can immerse test subjects—ranging from patients to elite athletes—in a virtual environment, after which we simulate disturbances like falls or balance issues using our platform. Every movement or reaction of the test subject is meticulously analyzed with infrared cameras to develop new rehabilitation techniques,” says coordinator Prof. Dr. Pieter Meyns. The MOVElab is unique on the European mainland; globally, there are only nine similar installations.
