Virtual reality research at WID is focused on advancing the field of virtual reality, ranging from creating novel and natural interfaces for immersive virtual environments to developing methods, techniques, and tools to better understand, evaluate, and develop interactive virtual experiences. The challenges and benefits of this research span across many disciplines.
Virtual reality researchers engage in projects with departments such as Industrial and Systems Engineering, Design Studies, Library and Information Studies, Nursing, Art, Dance as well as projects in Digital Humanities.
Virtual reality is a key component of WID’s Data Science Hub.
