I am on the academic job market 👩🏫!. I am a PhD candidate at @Stanford, in the Virtual Human Interaction Lab @StanfordVR. I study how groups interact in digital spaces using immersive technologies (VR/AR/MR), through in-lab and field experiments.

Teaching inside VR can be exciting. but a lot can go wrong. Here are some things @StanfordVR and @profknowak learned on what to do (+ what not to do) 📝: .Prerequisites for Learning in Networked Immersive Virtual Reality

Here’s a longitudinal study in which my colleagues and I looked at how *who* you are and *where* you are matter in social interactions in VR.
Say goodbye to conference rooms. We studied 100s of people in small groups over months in 192 panoramic or closed worlds. Large, open spaces improved nonverbal behavior, restorativeness and group cohesion. In VR space is free (and beneficial).

New VHIL field study: Passthrough Video inspires awe & is practical, but can cause visual aftereffects, lapses in distance judgments, simulator sickness, and "social absence". We recommend caution & restraint for companies lobbying for prolonged daily use.

What do people talk about in VR? Recent work by @cyanjd and colleagues' analyzes verbal communication within VR 🗣.
What's the language of VR? . @CyanJD analyzed 168 groups in @Engage_XR, 4800 transcribed minutes. Tools developed by @davidmmarkowitz reveal 8 themes: avatar embodiment, sensory process, class artifact, learning, future, real life, gaming, & cool factor.

📔New Discussion Article📔in @commedjournal covers pedagogical observations from the teaching staff over 2yrs of hosting classes in VR. We identify ways in which instructors can integrate VR into the classroom in sustainable, equitable ways.
Over a 2-year, 5-course, journey, VHIL scholars evolved pedagogical goals, curricula, assessments, and role of physical place when teaching using VR as the home medium. @EugyHan summarizes theoretical and methodological lessons learned in @CommEdJournal: .

Anna Queiroz led a team of @EileenJMcGivney @CourtAnd_ @cyanjd @__Ka1 @eugyhan @markromanmiller @jeffhancock, @ErikaWoolseyPhD & others. When learners are able to create and arrange 3D models during group conversations in @Engage_XR, they learn more.

🎉New pub at #CHI2024 🎉 by @Portia1230 and colleagues on transforming nonverbal cues for people who revisit/visit that interaction after it has occurred.
How can we improve the ways people relive past social scenes in VR? Can we do so through transforming the nonverbal behaviors of recorded interactions? With Mark Miller, Anna Queiroz, and @StanfordVR, we investigated these questions in our #CHI2024 paper.

🗣️New Paper🗣️ led by @cyanjd , @davidmmarkowitz , and colleagues investigates how people speak in social VR, specifically looking at language patterns and how they tie to presence - the feeling of "being there.".
NLP on spoken words predicts group engagement longitudinally in VR. Self & Collective references correlate with presence ratings. Impersonal speech correlates with large interpersonal distance. 130,000 words studied by @cyanjd & colleagues @JLangSocPsych.

@Stanford @StanfordVR Specifically, I focus on how context shapes group dynamics, particularly verbal and nonverbal behaviors. I also explore how these insights inform equitable, effective pedagogical practices for immersive tech in education. [2/3].

@ica_jcmc Results from self-report + motion (head, hands) data showed that virtual rooms with:.1️⃣ High ceilings:.- greater restorativeness, awe, momentary affective well-being.- more social attention to other group members.2️⃣ Large floor areas:.- greater sense of awe [4]

One of which was feeling extra scared than most people to go to crowded places -- which I thought was a product of the pandemic, but I knew it was because every time I went out someone would call me the "Chinese virus", tell me to fuck off, yell at me to go back to my country.

📝New pub📝 by @cyanjd exploring the role of visual proximity and discrepancy of one's avatar to their physical self + how this can impact different people differently.
@CyanJD & colleagues studied @RecRoom & @VRChat avatar creation & use. Discrepancy across 13 objective features (i.e., skin color, eye shape) reduced psychological connection between self & avatar. Asian participants showed particularly high discrepancy.

This whole "check in with your Asian friends- they need it" feels so condescending to me because, I get it's said with good intentions, but it just feels like the classic, lazy "you ok? here are some resources that might help" trope.

It's incredibly tokenizing & really unhelpful. What would really help is you reflecting on your own xenophobia, racism & unconscious biases you hold & hold those around you accountable.

But what has especially been hard is how people have been processing this on social media. I see so many mixed posts about how to "correctly process" this, "be an ally" and "be supportive" and I hate it so much because it feels like it's preventing any real, meaningful processing.

And this recent shooting I think has been a confirmation for many in the Asian community that the feelings of unwelcome, racism, xenophobia have been real and not just something we felt as a byproduct of a pandemic.

@CogitatioMaC In a study with 284 participants, we found that video or direct VR training helped users master VR functions better than paper training + those who trained directly in VR had less of a negative experience using VR for completing tasks.
