Update

 I continue to be part of the simulated training research group focusing on virtual reality, augmented reality. I have recently joined the AI research group and the Immersive research group for the ambulance service. I add my voice to these research groups as a VR developer conversant in game engine development, as I focus specifically on safeguarding design. I have a privileged place as a 53 year old female immersive developer with 4 years research experience... (and I'll be damned if I'll waste it ) so it's useful to sit at tables that are not really designed for me.. but i'm always welcomed even if my perspective is unexpected. 

I am currently conducting a basic literature search in this field of research and I am on the mailing groups for various immersive, interactive, AI design and research conferences within healthcare. 

These will be added to the literature links in this blog. 

I also intend to revisit journals that cover similar topics within academia, entertainment, science and technology as this is likely to reveal further literature that will be useful when underpinning ‘Shepherd’s Shield’… my research project.
