My 'new term' resolution is to be better at communicating some of our research projects. So here goes, a (hopefully multimedia) thread about our recently completed Innovate UK project called: Training Air-crew Competency using Eye Tracking (TACET).

New paper @JournalSafeTech takes a deep dive on the potential of "Mis-experiences" and highlights the experiential, immersive nature of false information in VR. Instead of being alarmist, we suggest ways to bring more stakeholders into the conversation. stanfordvr.com/mm/2023/03/Mis…

See our recent paper on augmented reality in tourism and education. A complex and time consuming data collection across two studies, with important findings for the design process lnkd.in/eye_upxv Shout to Dr Jon Bird who made this paper possible.

Another shout out for our Immersive technology in healthcare conference at the University of Exeter. 6th June 2023 on the St Luke's campus. Get involved. eventbrite.co.uk/e/immersive-te… organised by the illustrious Gavin Buckingham.
