Utilizing Virtual Reality as a Tool for Research on Environmental Behavior Study

My main field of interest is environmental behavior, which deals with interrelations between physical environments and human behaviors regarding urban- and architectural safety planning. I am currently planning to conduct an experimental research on public safety issues (fire/escape, terror/crimes) in urban- and architectural environments utilizing Virtual Reality technologies, and although I have recently acquired fundamental knowledge on VR technologies for the experiment, I am still in great need of technical assistance from professionals and detailed know-hows for more profound research and research performance. Professor Andrew Park, with whom I got acquainted at a research subject workshop, works at Thompsons Rivers University in Kamloops, Canada. Professor Park specializes in computer modeling and scientific visualization and conduct diverse studies on human behaviors in urban environments using Virtual Reality and Agent-Based Modeling and Simulation.
