Join our lab

We are always interested in new lab members. We focus on the use of technologies across the Reality-Virtuality spectrum, such as Virtual Reality (VR), and Augmented Reality (AR), to develop virtual healthcare experiences. Students at the V-ARE lab will aim to advance the research from two fronts: 1) study user behavior when interacting with virtual healthcare technologies, and 2) use the knowledge gained from studying user behavior to iteratively develop technologies for positively influencing health-related outcomes.
