Abstract
The Immersive Virtual Environment Testing Area (IVETA) is a behavioral science laboratory offering tools and expert support for virtual reality (VR)-based health research at the National Institutes
of Health. We design VR tools to tackle methodological and communication challenges in the domain of health research and practice, with a specialty in genomics. One of our most useful VR tools is a custom virtual reality application intended to simulate a buffet food choice experience in a typical cafeteria setting.
