Extended Reality

An overview of research projects related to the XR group.

XR collaboratory at the AI Pioneer Centre

We are part of the XR collaboratory at the AI Pioneer Centre.

Movement Learning in Virtual Reality.

This project is lead by Mark Schram Christensen and Joanna Bergström. It is funded by the Data+ pool from UCPH and by DFF.

Augmenting vision by combining augmented reality with models of visual attention

This project is lead by Søren Kyllingsbæk and Kasper Hornbæk. It is funded by Villum Synergy from VILLUM FONDEN.

Quantifying Body Ownership in Virtual Reality: Bridging Experimental Psychology and Data Science

The project is a data+ grant awarded to Kasper Hornbæk and Guido Makransky

We educate XR through PhD Courses and Summer schools and graduate and undergraduate courses at UCPH. 

Virtual Reality course

The Virtual Reality course is offered at the Department of Computer Science. The course is targeted to 3rd year BSc students, and is an elective course in two study programmes: Computer Science, and Cognitive and Data Science BSc programmes (Department of Psychology). In addition, many international exchange students and students from the CS MSc programme, as well as students from other departments take the course every year.

Summer school 

A CHI adjunct Summer School on XR is planned for the 2-5th May 2023. More information to follow.

Supervision

We are happy to supervise student projects (e.g., project outside course scope, BSc, and MSc thesis projects) on XR. Please feel free to reach out directly to the researchers listed below working in VR if you have an idea for a project or a thesis proposal.

The Presence Lab is an infrastructure grant awarded by the Carlsberg Foundation to Kasper Hornbæk

We connect and collaborate with research groups across the Faculties of Science, Social Sciences, Health, and Humanities at UCPH. We also connect with Aarhus University and IT University of Copenhagen, as well as Danish industry through the XR Collaboratory of the AI Pioneer Center.
