  • Enrolling Participants: Hurricane VR Study

    Volunteers wanted for a hurricane virtual reality research study. The purpose of this research study is to better understand how visual representation of potential hurricane damage can impact a resident's understanding of impending hazards and impact the mitigation decision making process. 

    Residential structure characteristics will be collected to create a customized virtual reality simulation that shows how your own structure may perform during a hurricane. The study will consist of a one-time meeting that will last approximately 30 minutes. 

    Eligibility: Connecticut residents living in single family residential home.
