Project Description
PTVR is a free and open-source library for creating visual perception experiments in virtual reality using high-level Python script programming. It aims at helping behavioral science researchers/engineers leverage virtual reality’s power for their research without the need to learn how virtual reality programming works. The philosophy of PTVR is thus very close to the approach of PsychoPy (https://www.psychopy.org/) that has been so important and influential since 2007 for Vision Science researchers displaying stimuli on 2D monitors.
The PTVR experiments are run in a VR headset making it easy to perform experiments in schools, hospitals, etc....
Having your experiment written in a PTVR script is very powerful in terms of reproducibility of science, Notably, this means that using this script allows anyone to integrally reproduce your experiment provided they have installed PTVR and possess a compatible VR headset.
Two types of sessions will be organized by groups of 4 persons: a/ In the first type of session, PTVR features will be exemplified thanks to demo scripts. In this case, participants will simply discover PTVR by being subjects of simple experiments and by looking at the corresponding code. This should help participants to see whether PTVR might allow them to run some VR experiments they have in mind. In this case, you do need to prepare anything in advance.
b/ In the seconde type of session, participants will try and write simple PTVR scripts
In this case, it would be helpful to :

Goals for Brainhack Global
For sessions of type b/ : deliverables will be new experiments or new demo scripts or new pedagogic scripts written by participants. They will be shared in this github repository: https://github.com/ericcastet/Brainhack-Marseille-VR
Good first issues
Read the Documentation of the PTVR website, especially the 'User Manual' section.
issue two: if you already have a VR headset, install PTVR and test its demo scripts.

Skills
For sessions of type a/ : curiosity : 100%
For sessions of type b/ : basic knowledge of Python and basic knowledge of 3D geometry.
Onboarding documentation

What will participants learn?
In sessions of type a/, Participants will experience VR experiments created with PTVR and will be able to assess whether the code is appropriate for them. In sessions of type b/, Participants will be beta users to help us assess if PTVR code is accessible for non specialists in VR programming.
