    • Database Search and Study Selection
    • Drafting Research Report
    • Developing and Programming VR Environment
  • Deliverables:
    • Research report published in a peer-reviewed journal
    • VR environment ready for subsequent phases

Work Package 2 (WP2): Initial Trialing and Construct Validation Study

  • Objective: Administer VR-based measures to a large sample of military personnel for analysis and calibration.
  • Milestones:
    • Participant Recruitment (400 participants)
    • Conducting Reliability and Confirmatory Factorial Analyses
    • Drafting Research Report on Development and Initial Validation
  • Deliverables:
