迷宫套件是一套完整的工具，使研究人员能够在交互式，易于创建和可扩展的（例如，多个房间）三维虚拟环境。迷宫套件可用于设计和编辑适应的3-D环境，以及跟踪受试者的行为表现。迷宫套件由三个主要应用程序组成：用于构建迷宫环境的编辑程序（MazeMaker）、可视化/渲染模块（MazeWalker）以及分析和映射工具（MazeViewer）。这些工具中的每一个都是从图形用户界面运行和使用的，从而使编辑、执行和分析变得用户友好。MazeMaker是一个NET架构的应用程序，可以很容易地用于创建新的3-D环境和编辑对象（例如，几何形状、图画、风景等）或者毫不费力地将它们添加到环境中。此外，迷宫套件能够使用标准计算机端口向生理记录设备发送信号输出脉冲。迷宫套件，与所有三个应用程序，是一个独特的和完整的工具集，为研究人员谁想要轻松，快速地部署交互式3-D环境。
Maze Suite is a complete set of tools that enables researchers to perform spatial and navigational behavioral experiments within interactive, easy-to-create, and extendable (e.g., multiple rooms) 3-D virtual environments. Maze Suite can be used to design and edit adapted 3-D environments, as well as to track subjects' behavioral performance. Maze Suite consists of three main applications: an editing program for constructing maze environments (MazeMaker), a visualization/rendering module (MazeWalker), and an analysis and mapping tool (MazeViewer). Each of these tools is run and used from a graphical user interface, thus making editing, execution, and analysis user friendly. MazeMaker is a NET architecture application that can easily be used to create new 3-D environments and to edit objects (e.g., geometric shapes, pictures, landscapes, etc.) or add them to the environment effortlessly. In addition, Maze Suite has the capability of sending signal-out pulses to physiological recording devices, using standard computer ports. Maze Suite, with all three applications, is a unique and complete toolset for researchers who want to easily and rapidly deploy interactive 3-D environments.
