(Tutor: Prof. Giovanni Bonaiuti, Prof.ssa Rachele Fanari) – Studio dei cicli di percezione-azione in ambienti di realtà virtuale (PON Ricerca e Innovazione)

Graduated in 2014 in the Master’s Degree course in “Developmental and dynamic-relational Psychology”, in 2018 she obtained a PON-RI PhD Scholarship (Research and Industrial Innovation – XXXIII cycle) with which she started the research project called “Study of perception-action cycles in immersive virtual reality environments “. This project aims to analyze and study the perception-action cycles in the context of the Human Computation Interface through a series of experiments in order to create effective immersive virtual reality environments intended for the training/teaching of procedures, and for the characteristics analysis of the users that can influence their effectiveness.
Thanks to the collaborations with INFORA company and to the staff of the Lawrence Technological University in Detroit she worked on the develop of Virtual Kitchen (VK), a modular 3D “virtual laboratory” in which subject’s activities and behaviors can be observed, recorded and measured in order to test the interaction of different categories of variables and their effects on procedural learning, presence and immersion.
She’s also involved in the development of a Virtual Reality “Game with a Purpose” called CICLOPS, a Citizen Science project that target the analysis of deep space signals recorded by radio telescopes using a human computation approach.  Ph.D. Thesis.
