<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><u>Project Summary:</u> ¡°Virtual reality (VR) is a breakthrough technology with a host of applied uses. Unfortunately, many people become sick when using head-mounted displays (HMDs). Our project proposes, and
aims to test, a new theory of this cybersickness. We intend to quantify the sensory conflicts produced by HMD VR for the first time and measure their effects on perception, eye-movements, balance and well-being. The project will: 1) determine the causes of,
and conditions responsible for, cybersickness; and 2) offer practical information on how to prevent it. These outcomes are expected to directly benefit, and greatly improve HMD use in, fields ranging from defence, education, entertainment, gaming, medicine,
real estate, simulation training and tourism.¡±<span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><b><span lang="EN-GB">Essential and Desirable Criteria:</span></b><span lang="EN-GB"> Candidates must have (or will soon obtain) either an Honours degree (1<sup>st</sup> Class or 2<sup>nd</sup> Class Division
1) or a Research Masters (with at least ¨ø¡¯s of the degree comprising a thesis) in a related field (e.g., Psychology</span><span lang="EN-US">,</span><span lang="EN-GB"> Computer Science, Engineering,

on human perception or motion sickness). Programming experience would also be an asset (e.g., VR/Graphics programming in C/C++, MATLAB, OpenGL, UNITY, UNREAL ENGINE or Data analysis skills using MATLAB or R).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
