Illusion Classroom

Published:

Illusion Classroom runs on custom infrastructure for psychology research labs. Each room supports 30+ videos, custom room setups, synchronization between different student bots, and programmable bot actions as agents. It is built for performance and the spike traffic that happens when experiments begin.

The platform is in active development and is supporting another research paper on children’s video-learning environments.

My contribution

I built the full platform, including the custom video-delivery infrastructure, room controls, bot synchronization, and agent programming system used by researchers.
