The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 5-year, $198,370 CAREER grant to Mississippi State University (MSU) under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070). This project seeks to advance virtual reality (VR) research by combining insights from computer science, neuroscience, and ophthalmology to improve the coupling between VR systems and people's perceptual abilities and physical features. Key activities include leveraging ophthalmic models to create customized virtual scenes, employing neuroimaging to study perceptions of real versus virtual scenes, and developing interdisciplinary educational materials on VR and perception for university students as well as middle and high school workshops. The project aims to not only enhance high-fidelity VR environments, but also unveil new approaches to studying human spatial vision. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
