Traditional verbal and 2D visual stimuli can be quite restricted in the context they provide, but thanks to VR technology, we can now get much closer to a full and natural context if we present speakers with a 360° vivid environment; one in which the linguistic factors to be studied are carefully controlled. We piloted VR technology for fieldwork by creating 360° videos, and tested these to study past tense in Spanish, and the interaction of focus and evidentiality in Xitsonga/Xichangana. We provide a detailed report of this proof-of-concept project, documenting all steps in the process.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>
