Reducing jerk for bimanual control with virtual reality (2019)
Thesis
Hill, S. (in press). Reducing jerk for bimanual control with virtual reality. (Thesis). University of Salford

This work explores interaction in virtual environments where bimanual operations lacking kinematic constraints, such as a pair of tracked controllers held in free space, are mapped to a target object that obeys a constraint, such as a pair of gripper...

Unveiling the role(s) of informal third sector deliverers : towards a conceptual framework to understand the process of social value creation among informal third sector groups (2019)
Thesis
Mashiter, C. Unveiling the role(s) of informal third sector deliverers : towards a conceptual framework to understand the process of social value creation among informal third sector groups. (Thesis). University of Salford

This research was designed to explore the role of the informal third sector groups (ITSGs) using an alternative methodological approach to Social Return on Investment (SROI) to reconceptualise value measurement. It focused on four ITSGs in Blackpoo...
