Abstract
Our memory is the ability to store and recollect vast amount of information over long time periods. Current memory research methods are quite limited and virtual reality can offer new approaches. For example, it is suggested that activity of our memory in virtual reality might be more lifelike than in case of laboratory experiments since more cognitive skills are provoked simultaneously. The main purpose of this thesis is to create a toolbox that enables to create memory experiments in virtual reality. The toolbox will have a random game room generator, level editor and an experiment creator. It will support four different types of memory experiment methods.
