The Role
We are seeking a highly motivated researcher to contribute technical knowledge and information management expertise to a EPSRC funded research programme, entitled “Kinetic User Interfaces and Multiuser 3D Virtual Worlds for Older People”. The aim of the proposed research programme is to conduct a detailed investigation on how Kinetic User Interfaces can be employed effectively to design novel 3D interfaces and interaction techniques for multiuser virtual worlds accessible to older people by modelling their behaviour whilst interacting with these technologies, developing and evaluating prototypes, as well as deriving detailed design recommendations for innovative 3D technology to support healthy ageing. The project is a partnership with SilverFit (http://www.silverfit.nl/… read more. “Job: Postdoc at University of Kent – Kinetic User Interfaces and Multiuser 3D Virtual Worlds for Older People”
