*''The Stanford Ocean Acidification Experience'' (2016) - Also called ''SOAE'', the "experience" premiered at the Tribeca 2016 Film Festival (then-called ''The Crystal Reef: Interactive'') in conjunction with the 360 video. SOAE allows users to become a scientist and interact with their environment.

*Facial Identity Capture<ref>[http://vhil.stanford.edu/pubs/2005/identity-capture.html/ Identity Capture]</ref> and Presidential Candidate Preference - it was found that by morphing a subject's face in a 40:60 ratio with that of John Kerry and George W. Bush, the subject was more likely to prefer the candidate that shared their features. This study has implications concerning the use of a voter's image and overall face morphing during national elections to sway a voter's decision.

*Eye witness testimony and virtual police lineups - In collaboration with the Research Center for Virtual Environments and Behavior, the [[National Science Foundation]], and the [[Federal Judicial Center]], VHIL examined the capabilities of pointing out witnesses during a police lineup while in a virtual environment.
*Diversity simulation - allowing participants to experience another race or gender
