I have funding available (one year, domestic) for an MSc student to develop our capacity to visualise multi-parameter datasets using virtual reality. The full advertisement is below. If you are interested, please get in touch.

Oculus Rift DK2

The Department of Physics, in collaboration with the Intelligent Vision Systems Team in the Department of Computer Science, has funding available for an MSc thesis student to develop tools for the visualisation of multi-parameter data sets using virtual reality. The student will continue to develop existing prototype code to improve our capability to interrogate data sets using an Oculus Rift. Data from the fields of astronomy, cosmology and drone flights are available to test and improve the codes used. The student will also investigate the use of hand gesture control as part of an improved human control interface with the analysis codes. Some programming experience is required. The funding for this project comprises one year’s MSc (domestic) fees.
