Bringing the client and therapist together in virtual reality telepresence exposure therapy (2016)
Book Chapter
Roberts, D., Fairchild, A., Campion, S., Garcia Jimenez, A., & Wolff, R. (2016). Bringing the client and therapist together in virtual reality telepresence exposure therapy. In P. Sharkey, & A. Rizzo (Eds.), Proceedings of the 11th international conference on disability, virtual reality and associated technologies (ICDVRAT 2016) (157-163). University of Reading

We present a technology demonstrator of the potential utility of our telepresence approach to supporting tele-therapy, in which client and remote therapist are immersed together. The aim is to demonstrate an approach in which a wide range of non-verb... Read More about Bringing the client and therapist together in virtual reality telepresence exposure therapy.

Collaborative telepresence workspaces for space operation and science (2015)
Book Chapter
Roberts, D., Garcia Jimenez, A., Dodiya, J., Wolff, R., Fairchild, A., & Fernando, T. (2015). Collaborative telepresence workspaces for space operation and science. In T. Hollerer, V. Interrante, A. Lecuyer, & J. Swan (Eds.), 2015 IEEE VIRTUAL REALITY CONFERENCE (275-276). Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. https://doi.org/10.1109/VR.2015.7223402

We introduce the collaborative telepresence workspaces for SPACE operation and science that are under development in the European research project CROSS DRIVE. The vision is to give space mission controllers and scientists the impression of “beaming... Read More about Collaborative telepresence workspaces for space operation and science.

Using virtual environments to test the effects of life like architecture on people (2014)
Book Chapter
Adi, M., & Roberts, D. (2014). Using virtual environments to test the effects of life like architecture on people. In A. Brooks, S. Brahnam, & L. Jain (Eds.), Technologies of Inclusive Well-Being: Serious Games, Alternative Realities, and Play Therapy (261-285). Springer Berlin Heidelberg. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-45432-5_13

While traditionally associated with stability, sturdiness and anchoring, architecture is more than a container protecting from the elements. It is a place that influences state of mind and productivity of those within it. On the doorstep of adaptive...

Comparing the end to end latency of an immersive collaborative environment and a video conference (2009)
Book Chapter
Roberts, D., Duckworth, T., Moore, C., Wolff, R., & O'Hare, J. (2009). Comparing the end to end latency of an immersive collaborative environment and a video conference. In 2009 13th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Distributed Simulation and Real Time Applications. IEEE. https://doi.org/10.1109/DS-RT.2009.43

Latency in a communication system can result in confusing a conversation through loss of causality as people exchange verbal and non-verbal nuances. This paper compares true end-to-end latencies across an immersive virtual environment and a video...
