Jacquelyn Ford Morie is an artist, scientist and educator working in the areas of immersive worlds, virtual reality, games and social networks.

Morie received her PhD from SmartLab at the University of East London in 2008, with a practice based topic in meaningful, expressive virtual environments.

Seeking to create new forms of artwork in the emerging field of virtual reality, Morie subsequently accepted a researcher position at the Visual System Lab (VSL) at University of Central Florida in Orlando, FL.

While working at WDFA, Morie was invited to take part in a 1996 National Research Council workshop entitled Modeling and Simulation: Linking Entertainment and Defense, held at the Beckman Laser Institute in Irvine, CA.

Two basic developments in this work included the design and use of an infrasonic floor to produce a subconscious "emotional score" for the virtual experience, and the invention of a scent collar that was patented in 2004.

Her project, Coming Home at the ICT[11] developed several techniques that provide relaxation and stress relief for veterans of recent American conflicts.

[12] In 2016, Dr, Morie's company "All These Worlds" performed a notable project for NASA, titled "ANSIBLE: A Network of Social Interactions for Bilateral Life Enhancement".
