PhD/Masters position: Embodied 2D & 3D Locomotion Interfaces for Virtual Reality and Telepresence, at Simon Fraser University

Interested in contributing to innovative research at the intersection of Psychology/Cognitive Science, Computer Science, Human Factors/HCI, and Virtual Reality in an interdisciplinary team? We’re currently looking for bright and motivated PhD/MSc students to join our iSpace lab (iSpaceLab.com) led by Prof. Bernhard Riecke at the School of Interactive Arts & Technology (SIAT), Simon Fraser University in the greater Vancouver region in beautiful British Columbia, Canada.

In particular, we are looking for grad students interested in researching and designing low-cost ground-based and flying (2D/3D) interfaces for immersive Virtual Reality and telepresence (e.g., camera-drones or conference telepresence robots), as well as investigating and designing methods for mitigating motion sickness (in VR and telepresence).
Applicants should be highly motivated and have a strong interest in interdisciplinary research aligned with the overall goals and vision of the iSpace lab: http://ispace.iat.sfu.ca/vision/

Please see http://ispace.iat.sfu.ca/contact/ for details on the application requirements and process and to see if/how you might fit in. PhD/MSc applications must also meet the regular admission criteria (http://www.sfu.ca/siat/grad/admissions.html) and will undergo the regular admissions processes. Please contact me before submitting your application. Note that MSc applications will only be considered if they show a strong interest in research and scholarly dissemination.
