Dr Rafael Kuffner Dos Anjos Applications accepted all year round Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Leeds United Kingdom Computer Graphics Human Computer Interaction Computer Science

Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences, University of Leeds

About the Project

In the Metaverse, we have an avatar; a virtual representation of ourselves. The quality of this representation may vary, being a close replica of our real bodies, or a simplified version that we are able to capture. How does that representation affects our actions/interactions in this environment? When is realism important, and when we can afford to have a less realistic avatar. This PhD will explore the effect of body representation in Virtual reality in communication/assistance scenarios. Can we manipulate body representation to improve performance in certain tasks?
