I had the chance to present my research on #awe in #VR at the Cognitive and Affective Biases Workshop in Krakow organised by Rafał Ryguła - it was such a great experience

Our last speaker is our own Assim Kalouaz, wrapping up a great night! Congrats to all involved 👏👏👏

We had an amazing night yesterday 37 Dawson Street with excellent speakers from @DREAL_ie and UCD Psychology, my thanks to Dr Amy McInerney Afroditi A. Asimakopoulou Méadhbh Brosnan Hrishi and Cristina for presenting on such diverse and engaging topics #ucdpsychstories #sciencecommunication

I tend to keep stuff to myself, but this is Twitter-worthy news, I'm so delighted to be part of the line-up and look forward to talking about #VR and the ways #research can inform the design of rich experiences.

Week 4/Day 4 at CHI at Crumlin working with Anne-Marie Casey and Sarah Carroll. A lot of stuff going on, and a huge amount of information to absorb, but it is such a refreshing and enriching working experience to apply #VR in a paediatric clinical setting.

just woke up to a former student asking me for a reference letter - which is new to me as a first-year PhD., and it feels very validating to think I had a positive impact on their experience as an undergrad ☀️ #phdchat #phdlife

Psychology at in CHI at Crumlin has partnered with Assim Kalouaz PhD candidate & Dr Brendan Rooney, Assoc Professor, Virtual Reality for Good in UCD to develop and implement Virtual Reality (VR) experiences with young people attending the hospital. Watch for more info ⤵️

🤩 !This project! 🤩 I'm working with Assim Kalouaz Anne-Marie Casey and Sarah Carroll in @chi_ireland to explore how #VR can add some more wonder and fun into children's #HospitalExperience. Can we then embed ways to empower children & help with distress or pain? #ucdpsychstories

There are so many ways to use immersive technologies: education, training, art, storytelling, etc... Experts at this webinar are here to present how they use VR, and I'm excited to share how I leverage the transformative potential of evidence-based experiences in my research.

This Sunday, I will have the pleasure to present at the NeuroCine seminar at @TallinnUni Media & Arts School, organised by Elen Lotman and pia tikka with @filmeualliance. My talk will present how awe, a key emotional experience of modern mediated #storytelling, can exist in #VR.

We had another opportunity to share or #VR work & meet like-minded colleagues in Children's Health Ireland Excited about this project to use VR to empower children, parents & practitioners in their #healthcare. Watch this (virtual space!) #ucdpsychstories UCD Psychology Assim Kalouaz David Redmond
