Description

I am exploring one of the aspects I find most intriguing about virtual reality: how and why our senses are “fooled” into the virtual realm. My experimental research focuses on sensory and time perception. I am studying my subjective experience of how time passes in different environments— including in virtual reality— measuring perceived time versus real time. Learning about how our brains function in virtual environments will provide valuable insight for the creation of immersive experiences.
