Kulwinder Kaur is currently writing up her PhD. thesis on 'Designing virtual environments for usability', at City University, London, and plans to submit May 1998. Her thesis involves the development of user interface design guidelines for virtual environments, using interaction modelling as a theoretical base. A natural extension of the work is the development of evaluation methods for virtual environments, informed by the interface guidelines. Kulwinder Kaur received a BSc in Business Computing Systems, in June 1994.
