Bernhard E. Riecke
Bernhard Riecke is full professor at the School of Interactive Arts and Technology at Simon Fraser University (SFU) where he directs the iSpace Lab (an acronym for Immersive Spatial Perception Action/Art Cognition and Embodiment). He joined SFU in 2008, after researching for a decade in the Virtual Reality Group of the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen, Germany, and working as a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute, Vanderbilt University and UC Santa Barbara. His key research areas include human spatial cognition/orientation/updating/navigation; enabling robust and effortless spatial orientation in VR and telepresence; self-motion perception, illusions (‘vection’), interfaces and simulation; and investigating and designing for transformative positive experiences in VR (which he touches on in his 2017 TEDx talk ‘Could virtual reality make us more human?’).
