UCL-CS Research featured in New Scientist:> Two recent articles have featured work by the Virtual Environments and Computer Graphics research group. The first described how Will Steptoe and Anthony Steed had added tracked eye movement to an avatar. They found this made it easier to spot whether an avatar was telling the truth.

The second explained how Steed and an MSC CGVI student had shown that the use of a realistically simulated virtual hand could increase the effectiveness of the "rubber hand illusion". A result which may help people learning to use a prosthetic limb.
