<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">Applications are
invited for a Research Associate in Interactive Virtual and
Augmented Reality to work in a major new research centre at
the University of Bath. We are seeking a talented and
motivated researcher with excellent track record in
human-computer interaction and/or 3D computer graphics. The
post holder will work closely with computer vision and
motion capture experts to research, develop and evaluate
innovative 3D environments and interaction techniques for
virtual and augmented reality.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">The Centre for the
Analysis of Motion, Entertainment Research and Applications
(CAMERA) is an exciting EPSRC funded large-scale research
collaboration between the Department of Computer Science,
the Department for Health and external partners at the
University of Bath.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">CAMERA has over £10m
of initial research commitment, including around £4m from
the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council
(EPSRC), and an expectation for growth and long-term
sustainability beyond the current 5-year funding. CAMERA
aims to create impact in the areas of entertainment, human
performance enhancement and assistive technologies. A
central theme is the development and application of human
motion capture, VR and AR in these areas. CAMERA has
several world-class partners including BMT, The Imaginarium,
The Foundry, Ministry of Defence, and British Skeleton.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">CAMERA has a
world-class motion capture studio, including a range of full
body and facial capture systems, inertial sensing,
multi-camera 4K arrays, and VR and AR technologies. CAMERA
has several research strands. In the VR and AR strand, we
aim to research and develop innovative techniques and
experiences in which people can interact with other people
and things in virtual and augmented environments.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">Using advances in
motion capture, 3D modelling and rendering, and
human-computer interaction, we aim to make these experiences
more controllable, realistic and natural.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">The principal aim of
this post is to conduct research to enable these
developments and to produce world leading publications and
other appropriate outputs. In addition to these duties, the
post holder will be involved in the supervision of PhD
students and some teaching.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">Commercial activities
through CAMERA are also possible. The post holder is
expected to work closely with other CAMERA staff, especially
with researchers working on related areas of VR and AR.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
