Mice Explore Virtual Reality Through a Pi-Powered Headset

Source Node: 1952873

A research team at the University of Leicester has developed a Raspberry Pi-powered VR headset for mice, allowing the little critters to explore virtual worlds.

The headset was created as part of a study exploring the effects of virtual reality on the brain and behavior of mice, and the results showed that the mice became more familiar with their virtual surroundings over time and showed reduced anxiety levels.

The teams says this research has potential implications for studies involving brain mapping, animal behavior, and virtual reality therapy.
