The '''Virtual Human Interaction Lab''' ('''VHIL''') at [[Stanford University]] was founded in 2003 by Professor Jeremy Bailenson, associate Professorprofessor of Communicationcommunication at Stanford University. The lab conducts research for the Communication Department. VHIL's mission statement includes: "The mission of the Virtual Human Interaction Lab is to understand the dynamics and implications of interactions among people in [[immersive virtual reality]] simulations (VR), and other forms of human digital representations in media, communication systems, and games. Researchers in the lab are most concerned with understanding the social interaction that occurs within the confines of VR, and the majority of our work is centered on using empirical, behavioral science methodologies to explore people as they interact in these digital worlds. However, oftentimes it is necessary to develop new gesture tracking systems, three-dimensional modeling techniques, or agent-behavior algorithms in order to answer these basic social questions. Consequently, we also engage in research geared towards developing new ways to produce these VR simulations."
