  7. Facial Expression Tracking

  8. Remote Digital Communication Network CVE

  9. Collaborative Virtual Environments

  10. Transformed Social Interaction (TSI) Actual Behavior Strategic Filter Transformed Behavior

  11. Why TSI? • Study conversational dynamics • Pushes theoretical boundaries on what it means to represent a human (i.e., avatar) • Conversational ‘superpowers’ • Make more effective CVEs

  12. 3 Dimensions of TSI • Transforming Self Representation • Transforming Social-Sensory Abilities • Transforming Social Context

  13. TSI : Transforming Self Representation

  14. TSI: Augmented Gaze • Gaze is powerful: • Learning (Sherwood, 1987) • Persuasion (Morton, 1980) • Physiological Arousal (Wellens, 1987) • Shaping the structure of a conversation (Kendon, 1987; Argyle, 1988)

  15. TSI: Augmented Gaze

  16. TSI: Digital Chameleon

  17. TSI: Digital Chameleon • Persuasive passage Read by Agent • 60 subjects • Mimic (4s lag) • Recording of other subject

  18. Presenter Effectiveness • Presenter Effectiveness: 14 questions about persuasion, social presence, likability (alpha =.9) Eta Sq = .21

  19. Head Movement Results 28 dg side = no agent in FOV Mean Max Mvmt: Record = 38.46 dg Mimic = 24.32 dg Eta Sq = .10

  20. TSI: Digital Chameleon • 40 Dyads digitally shake hands • One person unwittingly mimics the other • Negotiation Task

  21. TSI: Facial Identity Capture

  22. TSI: Identity Capture • Similarity among people results in: • Attraction (Shanteau & Nagy, 1979) • More Persuasion (Chaiken, 1979) • More purchases (Brock, 1965) • More altruistic helping behavior (Dovidio, 1984) • Trust (DeBruine, 2002)

  23. Identity Capture: Unfamiliar Target

  24. Facial Identity Capture:High Info, Familiar Target • National random sample (N = 200) • 1 Week before presidential election • Viewed candidate photos while evaluating Bush and Kerry • 3 groups of subjects • No morph • Bush Self, Other Kerry • Kerry Self, Other Bush

  25. TSI: Facial Identity Capture

  26. TSI: Facial Identity Capture

  27. Identity Capture…Familiarity Effects

  28. In the physical world?!!

  29. TSI in VR: Transforming Social-Sensory Abilities

  30. TSI: Emotion Abstraction/ Homuncular Flexibility

  31. TSI: Multilateral Perspectives

  32. TSI: Behavioral Flags

  33. TSI: Invisible Consultants

  34. Ethics

  35. The Proteus Effect

  36. The Proteus Effect

  37. TSI: Detection: Nonverbal Turing Test

  38. TSI: Infinite Regression?

  39. Not Just VR… • Cell phone digital reconstruction • Online gaming • Eye in the sky • Is your digital Identity online?

  40. Applications • Learning • Communication Technology • Advertising • Politics

  41. Conclusions • The digital world is a wonderful and scary place • Initial studies show TSI both effective and hard to detect • TSI may have drastic implications on Computer Mediated-Communication
