Undergraduate Internship – Game Developer Bath, England
Job description
This is an eight-week summer internship working with members of the Clinical Imaging and Measurement Department of the Royal United Hospitals Bath. For further details of the internship scheme, please see the 'UWE Bristol Undergraduate Internship Scheme 2023' website.
We are exploring use of 360 videos as part of pain therapy and end of life care. Specifically using such immersive technology to 'virtually teleport' users to outdoor natural environments. Currently we are using an external content management system that provides 'white label' Unity app templates, enabling virtual reality headsets as well as Android and iOS tablets/phones to view cloud hosted 360 video content. There would be opportunity to further develop these apps in response to feedback from patients and clinicians using the system.
The intern would have a mixture of in-person and virtual supervision from RUH staff involved with funded Immersive Technology in Healthcare projects at the RUH. This would be complemented by dedicated access to immersive technology purchased as part of the project (i.e. 360 cameras, virtual reality headsets etc) to support development.
