Research

In the Oculus Riftirement project I collaborated with Amy Roberts, Elise Radina and grad student Kelley Franks to evaluate the Samsung Gear VR for older adults.

The participants described positive and negative emotional reactions to aspects of the VR experience, articulated content preferences, shared ideas to improve the usability of the equipment, and identified facilitators and barriers that influenced perceived usefulness. The results of the study were then used to develop design recommendations that would make it into my 2017 GDC presentation on VR games for older adults.
