Reality Research

基于视频的电信技术，如Skype和类似的应用程序，为传统电话增加了大量的可视信息。然而，Skype的体验仍然无法与真正的面对面交流相提并论。为什么会这样？基于他对人的感知的广泛研究和对虚拟现实技术的复杂使用，Troje研究了从经典视频交流到真正的面对面接触的一系列显示条件下的二元交流。他将确定导致这些差异的感官线索和信息渠道，并将调查它们如何影响社会行为。结果将指导设计高效的视频会议系统，以调解真实的面对面体验。

Video-based telecommunication technology such as Skype and similar applications augments traditional telephony with significant visual information. However, the Skype experience is still not comparable to real face-to-face communication. Why is that so?Building on his extensive research on people perception and making sophisticated usage of virtual reality technology, Troje studies dyadic communication along a continuum of display conditions that span from classic video communication to a true face-to-face encounter. He will identify sensory cues and information channels causing these differences and will investigate how they affect social behaviour. Results will inform the design of efficient videoconferencing systems that mediate real face-to-face experience.
