I study human vision, particularly 3D vision. My main interest is in how the visual system could represent the shape of surfaces and the layout of a scene when the observer is free to move. I trained as a doctor in Cambridge and studied stereo vision for my DPhil. in the Psychology department at Oxford.

I head an Immersive Virtual Reality Laboratory at the University of Reading to study spatial perception and motor control in freely-moving observers.

Current lab members: Stuart Gilson, Ellen Svarverud, Lyndsey Pickup, Jenny Vuong.
