Supervised by Dr Daniel J. Finnegan; Moderated by Richard Booth

This project will investigate sex differences in motion sickness experiences during exposure to immersive virtual reality. Previous research has identified sex differences in onset of motion sickness; as VR is more and more used in non-entertainment domains such as emergency services training, this may lead to systemic biases in the effectiveness of training interventions. Strong HCI and experiment design skills are essential for this project. Off the shelf virtual reality applications are fine, but unity/unreal experience a plus as can then create bespoke stimuli. Interested students MUST come speak to me beforehand to discuss and for me to approve.
