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

[Virtual Immersive Training And Learning (VITAL) @vrexeter]

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

[Virtual Immersive Training And Learning (VITAL) @vrexeter]

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!!

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. https://t.co/oLEBoj0uuZ

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” https://t.co/anESpUfuhE

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 https://t.co/aRtF7v8brS

Great work Tom

[Tom Arthur @TomGArthur]

Had a really great time at #EPSPlymouth23 and met some lovely people. Big thank you to @ExpPsychSoc and all the event organisers!

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 https://t.co/wOoLWX57Cv Shout to Dr Jon Bird who made this paper possible.

[Stanford VR @StanfordVR]

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.

[Toby Ellmers @Toby_Ellmers]

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 https://t.co/jhQGPEZ2xR

And what a PhD it is 😍

[Tom Arthur @TomGArthur]

The latest preprint from my PhD is online: “Investigating how explicit contextual cues affect predictive sensorimotor control in autistic adults” https://t.co/mYgZWNi4KI with @Bath_CAAR @David_J_Harris @DrGBuckingham @markwilson_psy @GKRWilliams @samueljamesvine Feedback welcome!

[Virtual Immersive Training And Learning (VITAL) @vrexeter]

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

[Tom Arthur @TomGArthur]

The most recent paper from my PhD has just been published: “An examination of active inference in autistic adults using immersive virtual reality” https://t.co/BSQ8d4FY1M (open access) with @samueljamesvine @DrGBuckingham @David_J_Harris @GKRWilliams @markwilson_psy @Bath_CAAR 👇🏻
