👉 The Lisa (Lightweight Interactive Simulator) research, conducted by MIT's Media Lab, aimed to create a more realistic and interactive virtual environment for simulating human perception and cognition. Using advanced computer graphics, motion capture, and sensory feedback systems, Lisa allowed users to interact with a 3D world through natural gestures and movements, such as reaching and grasping. The project sought to bridge the gap between human behavior and computer-generated simulations by incorporating principles from psychology, neuroscience, and robotics. By studying how humans perceive and interact with their environment, researchers hoped to develop more intuitive and immersive virtual reality systems, enhancing applications in fields like education, training, and entertainment.
