The Lab*
/ method 01 — 03
VR Lab is a research practice studying breath, presence and slow attention inside virtual rooms. We prototype, observe, sit with people, and publish what we find.
Method 01*
Prototype
Build small, sensory-light rooms — one idea each. Test in studio first.
Method 02*
Observe
Quiet field studies with subjects. Measure breath, gaze, dwell, return.
Method 03*
Publish
One short paper each season. Read slowly, in plain language.
