Bio
SIGGRAPH 2025
Bernhard Riecke is Professor at Simon Fraser University, where he leads the iSpace Lab, a transdisciplinary team designing and investigating emerging technologies such as VR for positive impact on individuals and society. His research investigates: human spatial cognition/orientation/updating/navigation; self-motion perception, illusions (“vection”), and simulation; Motion sickness and how to assess/prevent it; designing for transformative positive experiences; and rapid prototyping and agile researching in xR.
After researching for a decade in the Virtual Reality Group of the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen, Germany and working as a post-doctoral researcher at Vanderbilt University and UC Santa Barbara, Bernhard joined SFU-SIAT in 2008, where he leads the iSpace lab. His research combines multidisciplinary research approaches and immersive virtual environments to investigate: Human spatial cognition/orientation/updating/navigation; Enabling robust and effortless spatial orientation in VR; Self-motion perception, illusions (“vection”), and simulation; Designing for transformative positive experiences using VR.
