What does the nature of NSF-funded VR education projects reveal? New research reviewed 160 projects (2015-2022), finding most targeted cognition (140) over psychomotor (57) or affective domains (31), potentially missing VR's experiential strengths.

Years went into the large-scale study that honed the cognitive load algorithm for HP Omnicept, measuring pupillometry, saccade, gaze direction, and heart-rate variability. 738 participants, 4 continents, ages 19-61, tasks varying in cognitive load. Now published!

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

god smiles upon me as i writhe around :)

I don't know who needs to know this, but Pro Publica has an online thing that will format a letter to your US health insurance company to demand the records behind a claim denial. (which the insurance is then legally required to provide in most cases)

Come to Your Senses: Synesthesia in VR

An extremely underrated video—synesthesia should be a key design principle in AR/VR design.
I highly recommend (re)watching it.

Public library energy is the best energy. Like here is all the knowledge we could find, it's been meticulously organized and vetted and it will cost you nothing today, welcome to the absolute pinnacle of human civic evolution, feel free to pull up any bean bag chair you like

Time for an intro! I am an incoming PhD student in the Embodied Dynamics Laboratory (EmD) at the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD). My research focuses on improving learning and cognitive abilities through HCI, wearable computing, and XR. #academicsky

As this platform grows, I thought I'd share a starter pack of #XR + #HCI researchers I've come across! This includes individuals exploring augmented reality, virtual reality, mixed reality, and related areas.

Let me know if you would like to be added or have any recommendations!
