Hi! I’m Pejman, PhD researcher at The University of Manchester Department of Computer Science and part of The Interaction Analysis and Modelling Laboratory. My research is sponsored by The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and The British Broadcasting Corporation Research and Development.
I am interested in ‘human-media interaction’. My current research [1 , 2, 3] looks at various ways in which augmented reality can be combined with more conventional media formats such as television.
A deeper understanding of the parameters of this design space may require extensive prototyping and user-testing. However, such user-tests often require purpose-built laboratories to recreate the natural settings. I am investigating the potentials of using virtual reality to replace the physical laboratories and streamline such user-studies.
