I talk with Prof Marientina Gotsis about the challenges that VR/MR environments pose to how we understand movement and use our locomotor and vestibular abilities in virtual spaces. Marientina discusses some of her projects on sensory motor rehabilitation and the knowledge gained from them in terms of interaction design in VR.
