EMCtä

EMCtä is a conceptual framework and research area focused on understanding and enhancing the interaction between humans and extended reality (XR) environments. XR encompasses virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) technologies, which create immersive and interactive digital experiences. EMCtä specifically investigates the multifaceted aspects of this interaction, including perception, cognition, emotion, and behavior within these simulated or enhanced realities.

The core of EMCtä research involves exploring how users perceive, process information, and react emotionally and physically when engaging with XR. This includes studying how the design of virtual environments, the fidelity of sensory feedback, and the nature of user interfaces influence the overall user experience. Key areas of investigation include the sense of presence, immersion, usability, and the potential for cybersickness or other adverse effects. Researchers in EMCtä also examine how XR technologies can be leveraged for various applications, such as training, education, therapy, entertainment, and collaborative work. The goal is to develop principles and best practices for designing effective and engaging XR experiences that are both beneficial and safe for users.
