Brittney Hartle, PhD

Through my 10 years of research experience, I have gained expertise in investigating how users perceive and interact with visual elements in virtual environments. My PhD in Experimental Psychology has imbued me with extensive experience conceptualizing, designing, programming, and executing hands on end-to-end research projects that answer ambiguous research questions using creative and innovative problem solving. 

My research career focuses on the perception and interactability of objects in virtual 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.
