New project aims to map future societal impact of augmented reality
Dr Mark McGill, from the University of Glasgow’s School of Computing Science, has won a Starter Grant from the European Research Council - which was subsequently funded by the UKRI Horizon Guarantee scheme - to investigate how a future ‘augmented society’ might provide people with new opportunities, as well as subject them to new potential for harms. Dr McGill will work with Dr Graham Wilson and Dr Joseph O’Hagan, also of the School of Computing Science, on the project.
