At this event, Rob Smith, Lecturer in Sports Rehabilitation and Conditioning, will provide an outline of how the use of XR is growing within his field of study. Then, a current Year 3 student, Sophie Luscombe (who Rob is Dissertation Supervisor for) will give an overview of her current Dissertation research, which focuses on exploring the effects of a VR training programme on Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients and looking at whether the intervention improves mobility, cognitive function and disability. There will then be an opportunity to ask any questions about the use of XR and the research to date.
