Brittney Hartle, PhD
Postdoctoral Researcher @ York University
I am a mixed methods researcher specializing in quantitative methods, human perception, immersive technologies (AR/VR), and user experience (UX). Extensive expertise in advanced statistical methods, experimental design, and sophisticated data visualization methods to transform complex user data into actionable insights that drive innovative, user-centered solutions.
I am always eager to connect with fellow researchers, industry professionals, potential collaborative partners, or anyone interested in vision science and human behaviour.
Research Interests
I am currently a VISTA funded Postdoctoral Researcher at York University’s Centre for Vision Research. My current research explores how optical factors influence users’ perception of distance, comfort, and their ability to effectively interact with virtual objects in VR environments.
My applied research spans multiple industries, including VR product development, aviation, and film with projects evaluating user comfort in AR/VR technologies, perceptual illusions in flight simulators, visual distortions in AR prototypes, binocular vision demands in military aviation, and user preferences for motion in 3D film.
