Szita is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie research fellow at the
Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Research Institute and

cognitive studies of immersive digital media technologies and she

of smartphone spectatorship, augmented reality, cinematic virtual
reality, social virtual reality, and the Metaverse. Currently, she
leads interdisciplinary and cross-sector research projects on user
experiences in social virtual reality and augmented reality and, as

personas. Szita is guest editor for PRESENCE: Virtual and Augmented
Reality (MIT Press). The School of Creative Arts Research Forum
meets weekly on Mondays from 10am-11am in the Neill Lecture Theatre
in Trinity Long Room Hub. The aim of the Forum is to provide a
space for School researchers, both staff and postgraduate students,
to share their ideas in an informal and supportive environment. It
is also an opportunity for the School to hear about the research of
colleagues both from within TCD and from outside the university who
share our research interests. In line with the research agenda of
the School, talks encompass traditional research and practice-based
research. Learn more at: https://www.tcd.ie/trinitylongroomhub/
