Welcome to Virtual Game Lab

On this website you can find information about the research of Sebastian Koenig, Ph.D., Experimental Psychologist and Human Interface Technology Engineer.
I am using computer games, virtual environments, the game engine Unity and tracking technology like the Microsoft Kinect to:
  • quantify user behavior
  • assess cognitive functions
  • develop applications for psychological research
  • improve user experiences
  • develop trainings for patients with cognitive and motor deficits

After completing my Ph.D. in Human Interface Technology at the HIT Lab New Zealand, I have completed my postdoctoral studies at the USC Institute for Creative Technologies, Los Angeles, CA and at Red 5 Studios, Laguna Hills, CA. I am now running my own company, Katana Simulations, to develop clinical and educational software. More examples of my work can be seen under Research.

I was just recently awarded the ISVR Early Career Investigator Award (2nd place) by the International Society for Virtual Rehabilitation. 


An overview of my company's work can be seen in this video (German):
