The content of our work is about the use of the immersive virtual reality worlds. We say, that they are an important part of the daily life of the people. These worlds are to be investigated and developed in their usability. They can have many different targets and it may help the user to reach proper goals. The question we make is, how they can be a part of the real usefull world of a human being.

There are two streams in which we are working on. One is the use of the immersive environment as a planning and design tool. The second is the creation of immersive_space as an experience and learning area which is able to inspire, touch and move people. We use IVR as a means für conversing with people and not just as an end in itself. These works are interdisciplinary and combine experts of the areas of art, architecture, design, computer science, natural science, medicine and psychology.
