Peter Crooks I am Founding Director of Beyond 2022: Ireland’s Virtual Record Treasury (https://beyond2022.ie/), an all-island and international collaboration to create a virtual reality reconstruction of the Public Record Office of Ireland, and its collections, which were destroyed at the outbreak of the Irish Civil War in 1922. I am also the Academic Coordinator of the Trinity Long Room Hub’s Multiannual Lecture Series entitled, ‘Out of the Ashes: Collective Memory, Cultural Loss and Recovery’ (2018 to 2021). My primary discipline is history. I have published widely on Irish and British medieval Irish history and have been commissioned to serve as editor of the forthcoming Cambridge History of Britain, vol. 2: 1100–1500.
Goksu Yamac Goksu works under the supervision of Carol O’Sullivan and his research focuses on improving AR/VR experiences through the perceptual evaluation of human motion. He explores human motion and interactions with the virtual world to understand how more realistic and more efficient experiences can be developed for AR/VR platforms. This entails many sub-problems from developing task-specific action detection models to developing full-body motion synthesis models, and consequently evaluating these models perceptually through user studies.
