The Virtual Environments and Reality Technologies Exploration (VERTEX) Lab is located in the Faculty of Computer Science at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada.

The VERTEX Lab aims to understand better how people think when working inside a 3D virtual environment with a focus on perception. Using that knowledge, we develop novel user interfaces that improve people’s performance on a task but that, at the same time, are easy to use.
