Skills Development Workshop
Day 1: Thursday, 12 September
-Conducting Behavioural Experiments in Virtual Reality
Session convener: Rachael Taylor and Lisa Huerta , University of Kent
This Skills Development Workshop is aimed at academics and researchers with no prior experience of using virtual reality (VR). We will introduce attendees to key elements of adapting VR for the purpose of behavioural research. First, we will show how people (and objects) can be scanned and turned into 3D assets, which can then be used in VR. We will then outline a workflow for creating a simple behavioural experiment in VR. On completion of the workshop, attendees will have the option to sign up to our free training programme, in which we put volunteers through a series of bite-size exercises en route to developing their first VR experiment.
