CfACTs Plus PhD: Advanced Non Player Character Systems for XR Healthcare Simulation

4 months ago


Bournemouth Dorset, United Kingdom Bournemouth University Full time €18,622

18,622 maintenance grant per annum
Project description
Single-user contemporary XR healthcare training simulations lack effective teamwork simulation and debriefing methods, compared to traditional high-fidelity manikin-based training which employs multiple human participants. While multiplayer XR simulations can naturally facilitate effective teamwork and debriefing due to their group nature, self-study / single player XR content does not. Better self-study options will be a major boon to XR healthcare training, allowing individual learners to gain confidence in a safe and repeatable environment; and allow training anytime, anywhere, without complex organisation / scheduling.
Non-Player Characters (NPCs) are used to bridge the gap between single player and multiplayer XR simulation content. i3 Simulations () is developing systems for NPCs to carry out routine tasks, such as navigating the virtual emergency room and carrying out instructions effectively. The main aim of the XR-NPC project is to provide AI enabled NPCs that emulate human colleagues in multiplayer XR simulations, across the i3 Simulations product range.
The XR- NPC project will complement i3 Simulations NPCs by delivering the AI for NPCs to recognise and obey orders, display appropriate emotions, and provide accurate feedback to the single player. A fully-funded Studentship includes a maintenance grant of £18,622 per year to contribute towards living expenses during the course of your research, as well as a fee waiver for 36 months. Associated costs, such as for fieldwork and conference attendance, will also be met under the Studentship.
The BU PhD and MRes Studentships are open to UK, EU and International students. Candidates for a PhD Studentship should demonstrate outstanding qualities and be motivated to complete a PhD in 4 years and must demonstrate:
Outstanding academic potential as measured normally by either a 1st class honours degree (or equivalent Grade Point Average (GPA) or a Master’s degree with distinction or equivalent
An IELTS (Academic) score of 6.0 in each component, or equivalent) for candidates for whom English is not their first language and this must be evidenced at point of application.
