Project description
Often, groups of friends live all over Germany, couples are in long-distance relationships, or grandparents live far away from their grandchildren. While it is possible to spend time together in video conferences, this is perceived as a shared experience only to a limited extent. Social virtual reality (VR) offers more extensive possibilities for this. But how can interaction that conveys social closeness be further improved in virtual space?
Although social VR allows for shared experiences, such experiences are often limited by not providing precise temporal synchronization. As a result, activities such as singing, dancing or virtual games can be perceived as non-synchronous experiences and users can literally feel out of sync.
In this project the students investigate what effects can occur when social interactions are out of sync and how the feeling of shared synchronous experiences can be increased.
We will present various approaches that we are investigating and give visitors the opportunity to try them out in virtual reality.
