Masterclass

The aim of this masterclass is to introduce students to the use of virtual reality in psychology. We will give an overview of the virtual reality equipment we have at University of Staffordshire, and the topics that it can be used to investigate. Students will be invited to take part in some activities where they will get hands on experience using the virtual reality equipment. Finally, we will ask students to consider their own ideas regarding how virtual reality could be used within psychological research.
