I am a professor in the Design Studies Department in The School of Human Ecology and in Virtual Environments at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery (WID). My research revolves around the utilization of virtual, mixed and augmented reality to simulate the experience of real-life spaces for real-world outcomes. My long-term goal is to develop new technologies, tools and methods to bridge the physical/digital divide.

Submit a Manuscript to Virtual and Augmented Reality: Theory, Methods, and Applications

I am acting as a guest editor for the the special issue of Applied Sciences (ISSN 2076-3417), Virtual and Augmented Reality: Theory, Methods, and Applications. The call specifically looks at:

  • Explorations of the theoretical underpinnings that create virtual or mixed reality experiences;

  • Explorations of the human side of virtual and augmented reality, including work related to perception, embodiment, and user-interface design;
  • Explorations of the development of hardware and/or software solutions that create novel forms of virtual and/or augmented reality experiences;
  • Applications that utilize virtual and augmented reality technologies for novel purposes.

The deadline for manuscript submissions is 20 September 2025.
