UMH professors, Francisco Julián Martínez Cano and Rocío Cifuentes Albeza, are participants, along with a team of faculty and investigators from the OCAP Research Group at the Department of Social and Human Sciences in the Erasmus+ KA200-HED project, Best Practices for High-Immersion Experience Design, aka, Abraxas, which is being promoted by the UMH Vice Rectorate for Internationalization and Cooperation. The project’s introductory meeting took place December 1 & 2, 2023, at Lodz University of Technology (Poland), which was attended by representatives from the four universities forming part of the European project: the aforementioned Lodz University of Technology, University of Aveiro (Portugal), University of Vigo (Spain), and the Miguel Hernández University of Elche.

The main goal of this project is to enhance the skills of future designers of immersive 3D experiences and their trainers, via a set of practical educational tools supported by exercises based on virtual reality to gain in-depth understanding of the needs of the design of immersive experiences of virtual reality. Thanks to created teaching materials, the 3D designers will better understand the cognitive needs and the capabilities of users, which will directly translate into specific skills and knowledge for creating interactive environments within the Metaverse.
