  13. RECVEB (1997) • Multidisciplinary group of researchers • anthropology • communication • computer science • geography • instructional development • music • psychology

  14. RECVEB (1997) • using immersive virtual environments to study behavior scientifically • using knowledge of behavior to improve immersive virtual environment technology

  15. Research Categories • Basic • Applied

  16. Basic Research Areas • Vision • e.g., What sensory information is important in the perception of scale or size?

  17. Basic Research Areas • Spatial Cognition • How do we learn to orient ourselves spatially?

  18. Basic Research Areas • Learning and Education • Can exploration of an object or environment in three dimensions add to the efficiency of the learning process?

  19. Basic Research Areas • Mass Media Effects • Will immersive virtual environment media exacerbate positive and negative media effects?

  20. Mass Media Effects

  21. Basic Research Areas • Social Psychology • Can we use immersive environments to create and experimentally examine social interaction?
