• PhD Student – The title of my research is “Using Augmented Reality as virtual presences blended with reality as an educational aid and how to enhance the understanding of instructional manuals”.  The practical element of my PhD, which will be a reflection on practice/practice based research, will focus on producing augmented reality automotive workshop manuals.  The theoretical element that I will use to inform my practical element will look into how people learn and understand how AR can be used to inform and educate.
