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!

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.

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!
