PhD thesis defense Nicolas Wenk
The ARTORG Center congratulates Nicolas Wenk for his successful PhD thesis defense on 17 December 2021 on “First-person immersive virtual reality to improve motor learning and neurorehabilitation” at the Motor Learning and Neurorehabilitation (MLN) lab.
Nicolas Wenk has investigated how head-mounted displays (HMDs) could overcome the drawbacks of 2D screens in robotic VR training after brain injury.
