 ====== Proposed Projects for Winter 2016 ======
 \\
+======Immersive Virtual Worlds======
+**Supervisor**: Robert Allison
+**Required Background**: General CSE408x prerequisites, good programming skills, previous work with computer graphics would be helpful
+We have a new and unique fully immersive virtual environment at York. The student would develop interactive 3D virtual worlds to study self motion perception and human computer interaction in a virtual world.  In particular, working with a senior graduate student or postdoctoral fellow, the successful applicant would model 3D environments, render them in a virtual reality display and develop/implement interaction methods to control and interact with the simulation. Artistic background or skill would be an asset but is not required.

+======Virtual Walking Devices======
+**Supervisor**: Robert Allison
+**Required Background**: General CSE408x prerequisites, good programming and mechanical skills
+Simulating effective walking in an immersive virtual environment is challenging. Working with a senior graduate student, the successful applicant would help to develop a circular treadmill interface to support virtual walking metaphors.
