In the Cyberneum at the Tübingen-based Max Planck Campus, people are transported into virtual worlds in order to investigate how our brain processes impressions. A motion simulator - a cable robot - has recently been developed that makes entirely new experiments possible, says Heinrich Bülthoff, head of the Research Department. We interviewed him about the underlying research interest, the conscious and entirely real deception of human senses and cooperation with the aviation and automotive industries.
