Research Interests
I am particularly focused on the overlap of these two, which is the use of VR (3D virtual environments) in education and other social applications. One of the key aspect of my research is inclusion/accessibility in VR technology.
Accessibility
Accessibility (and inclusion in general) is an important aspect of my research, especially within the context of VR. My research team explores VR design process and experiences that are more inclusive to people with diverse physical abilities and cultural and gender-based backgrounds.
