» Research Interests
My major interest is in helping to find out what makes virtual reality work for people - in the sense that they can engage with one another in virtual environments, and also interact with virtual characters. This research, the study of 'presence' in virtual environments, is also explored in the context of psychotherapy for social phobia and other related applications. We have a an active, thriving, and expanding team, and if you're interested in working with us, please do make contact.
