Say goodbye to conference rooms in VR. We studied 100s of people in small groups over months in 192 wide-open spaces or small closed worlds. Large, open spaces improved nonverbal behavior, restorativeness and group cohesion. In VR space is free (and beneficial). news.stanford.edu/stories/2022...

Where and who you are in VR has a real impact, study finds

In a new study, Stanford University researchers examined how being able to completely transform one’s appearance and digital environment significantly impacts social interactions in the metaverse.

Thanks @qantas-official.bsky.social for the interview about our work conducted at @stanfordvr.bsky.social on impression formation in video calls. ⭐ Camera a bit higher than eye level ⭐ Look at your camera to simulate eye contact ⭐ Smile & think about your background! www.qantas.com/travelinside...

And marine social science! 👭🌊 go.bsky.app/Sj7NX5D

Developing a starter pack for scholars on here using and publishing about qualitative research methods to link us up, comment on this post and I'll add you! :) go.bsky.app/N6x825K

Ok, I’m loving the starter packs! This one is for women (inclusively defined) in Ocean Science. You need more ocean 🌊 in your feed! Follow these folks. If you would like to be added please just let me know 👋 … if I forgot you, please don’t be offended, it was an accident! go.bsky.app/7MdiLgo

The sense of touch is innately private, but what if it could be shared across individuals? With VR, touch can now scale from one to many, just like sight and sound. Yujie Tao @StanfordVR studied shared body sensations in VR and found it increases empathy toward others. #ISMAR2024 t.co/NfPdqOuIB5

I made an EdTech x AI starter pack! I dug around and tried to find who I could but it's Sunday so...if I missed you lemme know.

Starter pack of social scientists working on climate/environment with a focus on justice-driven policy, behavior, & systems change. *Inclusive of early career scholars.* Recommendations welcome @carlietrott.bsky.social [Collaboratively created; Additions ≠ endorsement.] go.bsky.app/6yrkE6C

I made a list of folks who work in ocean science and conservation, post stuff that’s interesting to non-experts in those fields (like my students,) and post regularly. Give them a follow to get more ocean on your feed. I am always adding to this list. But please don’t ask me to add you. 🦑🧪🐠🌎

Just made a new starter pack + I need your help! Which climate educators am I missing? I don't mean all of us who teach in higher ed. This pack is for people who study education, develop curriculum, teach young people, or have full-time formal or informal climate ed jobs. Give me your best reccs!

A starter pack of academics, researchers, and organisations active in #EnvironmentalPsychology (the application of psychology to environmental issues, such as climate change, and human-environment interactions. Let me know if you'd like to be added to this list (reply or dm) go.bsky.app/2yJ9TJg

The concept of #OceanLiteracy (OL) emerged in the US in 2004. It means understanding the influence the ocean has on us & our influence on the ocean. The 7 OL Principles are the main ideas that every student should understand by the end of high school. More info: www.marine-ed.org/ocean-litera...

I am eager to build a community of marine educators/communicators, and ocean literacy researchers and practitioners here. I created this starter pack. If I included you and you want to be removed, let me know! Reply if you want to be added. Let's see if we can grow the #marineeducationsky

Happy weekend everyone. I wish all of you access to a body of water for your wellbeing. #BlueMind

Community for Education Scholars in all areas and concentrations looking to find each other! Please reply to this post if you want to be added!! #EducationScholars go.bsky.app/BaXvoap

Time for a short intro! I am an associate prof in education at UGOT (Sweden). I study VR for marine environmental education and ocean literacy. Research pivot to Zoom fatigue during COVID. My website; geraldinefauville.com. Photo: Nicke Johansson. @academic-chatter.bsky.social #academicsky
