abstract = {Wizard-of-Oz (WoZ) systems represent a widespread method in HRI research. While they are cost-effective, flexible and are often preferred over developing autonomous dialogs in experimental settings, they are typically tailored to specific use cases. In addition, WoZ systems are mainly used in lab studies that deviate from real world scenarios. Here, virtual reality (VR) can be used to immerse the user in a real world interaction scenario with robots. This article highlights the necessity for a modularized and customizable WoZ system, using the benefits of VR. The proposed system integrates well-established features like speech and gesture control, while expanding functionality to encompass a data dashboard and dynamic robot navigation using VR technology. The discussion emphasizes the importance of developing technical systems, like the WoZ system, in a modularized and customizable way, particularly for non-technical researchers. Overcoming usability hurdles is crucial to establishing this tool's role in the HRI research field.},
