Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University (Virginia Tech) received a $418,293 CAREER Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Computer and Network Systems under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070), effective May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2031. This award supports research into perceptual modeling and detection of deceptive patterns in immersive virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) environments. The project delivers three primary products: (1) models documenting how manipulative visual design techniques affect user decision-making through gaze behavior analysis; (2) gaze guidance techniques that leverage peripheral motion perception to assess deception risks; and (3) detection methods and tools that identify deceptive design patterns by analyzing sensor data across virtual and augmented applications. The research directly addresses emerging risks to user autonomy, privacy, and livelihood in increasingly prevalent VR/AR entertainment and socialization applications. Project findings will provide actionable guidance for future developers of immersive technologies to mitigate manipulative design practices. No subawards are planned for this award, with all work to be performed at Virginia Tech's Blacksburg, Virginia location.Federal Grant Award Summary
