Abstract :
The paper presents a versatile experimentation framework for psychophysical research of spatial cognition. The framework provides a systematic experiment description format, which does not require strong programming skills to define complex scenarios and stimulation strategies. A key feature of the system that it supports different displays from a single LCD screen to multi-walled immersive systems and head-mounted displays such as the Oculus Rift. Technical details and usage specifics along with design examples are discussed.
