Designing Digital Avatars for Learning and Creativity

• ETH Zurich
• Sensing, Interaction & Perception Lab Other organizations: Computer Graphics Laboratory

We will explore the design space of avatars in Virtual Reality to support learning and creativity. The project will leverage the concept of "embodied cognition", a set of theories that imply that our bodies and their interaction with the environment can impact how we learn. We will develop a Unity3D-based VR environment for embodied learning that can be deployed on everyday VR headsets.
