Urban greenspace perceptions - a virtual reality study

Thank you for your interest!

Our goal is to understand how green infrastructure is perceived by viewers like yourselves. By understanding what makes this infrastructure more aesthetic and capable of connecting people to place we hope to improve future infrastructure designs.

If you choose to participate in this study you will be asked to use a virtual reality headset to examine a green infrastructure feature. Afterwords, you will be asked to work with our research team to draw out a diagram that illustrates how you feel different green infrastructure attributes influence their attractiveness or their capacity to create positive associations with a place. 

This process will take no more than an hour and you will be given a $10 gift card upon completion as a token of our appreciation for your time.

Safety: If you have a history of photosensitive epilepsy, please do not elect to participate in this study. Photosensitive epilepsy can make using a virtual reality headset unsafe
