Virtual Immersive Training And Learning (VITAL)

To see the ongoing work of the VITAL team - ranging from VR training for nuclear decommissioning to studying anxiety about falling and sensorimotor deficits in autism - check out our homepage sshs.exeter.ac.uk/research/human…

You will be part of the well-supported QUEX PhD programme: exeter.ac.uk/global/quex/

Be part of the exciting XR work happening at Exeter in the psychology and VITAL research groups: medicine.exeter.ac.uk/phss/research/…

Fully funded 3.5yr PhD studentship at Exeter, with a year at University of Queensland. Come study perception and learning in XR environments. Check out the details here: findaphd.com/phds/project/v… @UQ_News @samueljamesvine @markwilson_psy @David_J_Harris

2 PhD studentships focused on training and learning. Please share with any colleagues or students who have (or are close to completing) an MSc in Psychology, Human Factors, or Data science. exeter.ac.uk/study/funding/…

Enjoying our final day in the @iitsec Exhibit Hall #XR #IITSEC

Here’s VITAL team member @Molonilua giving a great overview of his recent @dstlmod research. Part of the interesting focus event: “Human-Centered Successes and Challenges in AR/VR Development and Implementation” #IITSEC

We are at @iitsec this week in Orlando to see some of the latest innovations in the field of #XR training and research. Let us know if you’re here too!!

Come and do a PhD with us, funded by the QUEX institue, and with lots of potential for travel to Australia. @David_J_Harris @markwilson_psy @TomGArthur findaphd.com/phds/project/v…

Can medical trainees learn through virtual reality? A #BMCDigitalHealth study by the @vrexeter and @CineonTraining teams, authored by @TomGArthur @David_J_Harris @samueljamesvine et al, suggests that despite some limitations it can be a valuable tool. bmcdigitalhealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Great to welcome @GeirJordet to sunny @ExeterSENS today to discuss (amongst other things) ideas for a cool collaboration on measuring performance variation in football. @vrexeter @David_J_Harris @samueljamesvine @TomGArthur

New paper from the @vrexeter and @CineonTraining research teams, in collaboration with @VRIMS_Lab: “Examining the validity and fidelity of a virtual reality simulator for basic life support training” doi.org/10.1186/s44247…

A brief session of heading footballs immediately alters brain function and the way the brain communicates with the muscles around it, a study has found trib.al/P391sYZ

Great work Tom

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 @DrGBuckingham.

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).

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/Mis…
