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.

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/Mi…

New paper with @markwilson_psy, @Elmar_Kal and @willyoungexeter. Probably my favourite work of ours to date. Here, we attempt to translate @theamygdaloid's 'two system' model of fear to fear of falling (and balance control) in older adults. 1/10 sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Really good thread from @TomGArthur explaining his work on autism that combines some complex theoretical ideas with a very practical problem of movement difficulties. #VR #activeinference #Autism
