Student Projects I supervise MSc CGVI and MEng CS students’ projects. Please see a list of current available projects and examples of previous projects I have supervised. GCVI Project Ideas for 2013-14 1. Psychotherapy for Social Phobia We have an ongoing project in collaboration with Prof Chris Barker (UCL Psychology) on using Virtual Reality to help social phobia patients to build confidence. We have an existing application developed in Unity. I am looking for students who are interested in human-avatar interaction to work on making the interaction more realistic. This project is highly flexible: if you are interested in either the verbal or non-verbal side of human interaction, you would be an ideal candidate! This could also be a collaborative project with 2 students! 2. Social mimicry Why do people mimic? Do you mimic more avatars that look smiliar to you or avatars that look attractive to you? Would you mimic more with a sad avatar or a happy avatar? If you are interested in answering any of these questions using Virtual Reality, please contact me! This project is in collaboration with Dr Antonia Hamilton (UCL Cognitive Neuroscience). Previous projects supervised: 2013: Virtual Reality in Psychotherapy for Social Phobia by
Kanxia Xu 2011: Exploring the Effects of Virtual Character Age in Moral
Dilemmas in VR by Ranchida Khantong 2010: Experimental Studies in Peoples' Responses towards
Blushing in Moral Dilemmas by
Domna Banakou. See Section 3 in Computer Based Video and Virtual Environments in the
Study of the Role of Emotions in Moral Behavior for work related to this project.
