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 the Max Planck Institute, Vanderbilt University, and UC Santa Barbara, Bernhard joined SFU-SIAT in 2008. He leads the iSpace Lab, a trans­dis­ci­pli­nary research team design­ing and inves­ti­gat­ing emerg­ing tech­nolo­gies such as Virtual Reality for pos­i­tive impact on indi­vid­u­als and soci­ety. To do this, his research com­bines mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­nary research, design, and artis­tic approaches and immer­sive vir­tual envi­ron­ments to inves­ti­gate how humans per­ceive, think, behave, and spa­tially orient in real and computer-mediated environments.
