Connor McCabe using VR in the lab

About Me

I'm Connor, a researcher and XR developer based at Adelaide University. I work at the intersection of psychology and technology, with a focus on participatory approaches to designing and building tools for underrepresented communities.

My work focuses on using emerging technologies to support underrepresented and disadvantaged communities. I believe the most effective way to do this is through participatory and co-design methods - processes that involve the people a tool is being built for from the start, ensuring the outcome reflects their needs rather than assumptions about them.

When I'm not working, I like to keep myself engaged and active, whether that's rock climbing at the local centre, mountain biking, or playing a high-intensity competitive video game on my PC.
