Good teams delete.

@portiawang.bsky.social and colleagues examined 146 creators working in groups and tracked body movements and construction behaviors continuously. Object deletion frequency predicted group entitativity and inclusion of the other in the self.

Reality Splits: Seeing Different Worlds in Mixed Reality Mixed reality promises shared digital spaces. But what if collaborators see different worlds? New research reveals how even small perceptual mismatches may reshape interaction.

Augmented Reality eliminates "perceptual common ground".

What happens when 2 people see very different versions of the world around them?

New study by @eugyhan.bsky.social shows greater discrepancies resulted in less nonverbal synchrony and affected decisions.

What if each of us saw a different reality? From personalization to artefacts, immersive technology is already taking us there, where no two users share the same visual reality.

Our new study investigates this perceptual conflict in collaborative MR @stanfordvr.bsky.social @ufresearch.bsky.social

Underwater VR!

Floating free (compared to being docked in water or on dry land) caused more psychological ocean connection and positive emotions. Floaters believed they had drifted 4 meters even though they were stationary (i.e., vection).

Virtual Placemaking
Virtual Placemaking YouTube video by Virtual Human Interaction Lab

What if you had a real encounter, then used genAI to model it, and weeks later relived the memory in VR?

Largescale, longitudinal study by @portiawang.bsky.social at JCMC.

Reliving past memories caused groups to be better, in speech, in gestures, and in outcomes.

VHIL-E knows it all but rarely hallucinates! Lab materials collected, cleaned, classified, chunked, created embeddings, correlated in an index, & connected ("7 Cs"). Over 2.3 million words segmented into 10k "chunks" integrated into an RAG-based LLM. Now published.

Virtual reality helps people understand and care about distant communities Direct experiences have powerful effects on perception – a truth at the heart of new Stanford-led research showing how immersive VR can make distant places feel more immediate and climate-related impa...

The barrier to effective climate communication is often personal distance — for many, it still feels like a faraway threat.

A new Stanford-led study shows that virtual reality can help close that gap.

People become attached to places they spend time in. 3D maps allow visits in VR. Santoso & colleagues show that visiting distant locations makes even politically conservative participants care about real climate change news in that city, compared to static images.

Google Earth remains the best thing to happen to VR, which is impressive for an application that hasn’t been updated for nearly 8 years.

I had a blast doing the Stanford #VR lab experience! It provides a wide sample of the powerful #virtualreality features available to the current technology. I highly recommend it to anyone that ever wondered what the tech can actually do! #stanford

Sobre ponerse en los zapatos del otro: es la compasión guiada con la razón, no la empatía (Bloom). La primera te mueve a ayudar con una base moral, la segunda solo te lleva a un estado mental.

La #VR, como máquina de empatía, es inevitable. Que luego razones y eso haga que ayudes al otro, un mundo.
