Thanks for tak­ing the time to read my blog! I’m Az After­thought AKA Aaron *cough* and I’m a final year Exper­i­mental Psy­cho­logy PhD stu­dent study­ing how people col­lab­or­ate over long dis­tances. I spent the first two years of my pro­ject with Hewlett-Packard Labs study­ing Halo tele­p­res­ence (an amaz­ingly life-like video con­fer­en­cing tech­no­logy, that is incred­ibly close to face-to-face com­mu­nic­a­tion) and pub­lished a white-paper with them on tele­p­res­ence and neuro­psy­cho­logy. More recently I’ve moved on to vir­tual worlds — in par­tic­u­lar Second Life — where I’m cur­rently con­duct­ing a num­ber of dif­fer­ent investigatons.

I’m always up for a ran­dom chat or hello, so feel free to IM or friend me in-world. I’ll also do my best to reply to all mes­sages sent through this site, although please keep in mind, I’m not the quick­est when it comes to reply­ing! :S

And FYI, the site’s name — a-res.info — is a con­trac­tion of Aaron’s Research Inform­a­tion — so there you go. Not com­pletely ran­dom

My work is sponsored by Great West­ern Research in col­lab­or­a­tion with Hewlett-Packard.
