TG0 is working with Bournemouth University using patented TG0 touch and pressure sensing technology to help measure social anxiety. The project will provide a biomarker for social anxiety assessment by investigating face perception in social VR settings and recording brain activity with EEG measures. It will build immersive and realistic VR environments using the Unity engine and employ naturalistic social interactions between humans and virtual characters utilizing TG0’s intelligent materials (etee handsets).
