Are you passionate about cutting-edge technology, storytelling, and the beauty of nature? The NaturExVR project is opening two doctoral fellowships for creative and curious minds eager to shape the future of virtual experiences in nature-based tourism.
NaturExVR explores how immersive narratives, photogrammetry, and virtual reality can transform the way people connect with natural sites on the Madeira island. Our interdisciplinary team merges technology, digital arts, and tourism studies to create innovative ways of experiencing the natural world without leaving a footprint.
As a doctoral researcher, you will:
· Design and experiment with immersive VR environments inspired by real landscapes.
· Combine storytelling and spatial technologies to engage visitors emotionally and intellectually.
· Collaborate with a network of researchers and professionals.
· Contribute to redefining sustainability and presence in virtual tourism.
We're looking for motivated candidates with backgrounds in interactive media, computer science, or digital arts, who are ready to push the boundaries of technology and human experience.
