Expertise

Our expertise is in supporting and studying the kind of interactions people have while tackling something in the world, without the stimuli needing to be real or the people physically together.

We have:

Extensive experience in developing and studying the use of a range of tele-immersive systems, using both authored and live 3D video reconstruction avatars.

Integrated eye tracking and neuroimaging into a range of immersive and mixed reality displays.

Investigated , collaboration, trust, rapport, engagement, creativity and inhibition.

Designed and commissioned a variety immersive display and capture spaces, including for a laboratory, cooperate space and public place.

And helped some in the NHS and Automobile Industry to take up XR.

This experience is detailed in our academic publications.
