About Me:
I am a researcher with just over 10 years experience in user related aspects of virtual and mixed reality worlds. This ranges from theoretical to practical aspects and I have around 30 publications in the field. I am current involved in a number of applied science projects which look at mixed realities e.g. integrating virtual elements into real world spaces as well as bridging the divide between virtual reality and mobile devices.
