Grateful to continue my postdoc research on exploring technologically-supported emotion regulation interventions for young people.

[SFU School of Interactive Arts + Technology @SIATSFU]

A team of SIAT researchers are using virtual reality to help young adults cope with health challenges. The research explores how VR can be used to support access to early intervention, reduce stigma, and empower youth to build skills for future challenges. https://t.co/SeuovEJhIa

Very excited about the two LBW that the BIRD team and collaborators will present at #CHI2024
The first paper is about asymmetric play in XR. What happens when one person is wearing a headset and the rest aren’t?
(Inspired during our @dagstuhl in social XR late last year). 🧵
