Developed and managed by the PICS-L laboratory, this equipment is used by the laboratory's researchers as well as by partner researchers. Some of the experiments are part of the institution's own research, particularly in the context of theses. They are also part of contractual projects. The two main areas of use of the simulators are:
. the study of users, mainly pedestrians, facing the city of the future;
. the study of drivers, cyclists and pedestrians facing the progressive automation of vehicles and connected vehicles.
A research activity in virtual reality is also supported in order to acquire and capitalize on the knowledge that contributes to the best use of these tools.

Immersive simulators are used to evaluate future urban and road developments. They are also used to evaluate new travel assistance or signalling systems. In particular, they allow to evaluate how users perceive, understand and react to new information or warning messages. A typical service takes several months and includes the analysis of the need, the design and preparation of the experimentation and the provision of the simulator for the tests. The user company or organization will then be able to conduct the tests with the participants he/she has recruited and to analyze and interpret the data collected according to the methods of its choice. In some cases, we can carry out the tests and the data processing.
