  • The Use of Immersive Virtual Reality in the Learning Sciences: Digital Transformations of Teachers, Students, and Social Context

    Jeremy N Bailenson, Nick Yee et al.ARTICLEJournal of the Learning Sciences2008

    This article illustrates the utility of using virtual environments to transform social interaction via behavior and context, with the goal of improving learning in digital environments. We first describe the technology and theories behind virtual environments and then report data from 4 empirical studies. In Experiment 1, we demonstrated that teachers with augmented social perception (i.e., receiving visual warnings alerting them to students not …

  • Courtroom Applications of Virtual Environments, Immersive Virtual Environments, and Collaborative Virtual Environments

    Open AccessJeremy N Bailenson, Jim Blascovich et al.ARTICLELaw & Policy2006Cited by: 4References: 39

    This article examines the possibilities and implications of employing virtual environments (VEs), immersive virtual environments (IVEs), and collaborative virtual environments (CVEs) in the courtroom. We argue that the immersive and interactive reality created by these tools adds significant value as a simulation of experience to enhance courtroom practice. The obvious boundaries between real and virtual enhance the attractiveness of these tools …

  • Transformed Social Interaction, Augmented Gaze, and Social Influence in Immersive Virtual Environments

    Open AccessJeremy N Bailenson, Andrew C Beall et al.ARTICLEHuman Communication Research2005

    Immersive collaborative virtual environments (CVEs) are simulations in which geographically separated individuals interact in a shared, three-dimensional, digital space using immersive virtual environment technology. Unlike videoconference technology, which transmits direct video streams, immersive CVEs accurately track movements of interactants and render them nearly simultaneously (i.e., in real time) onto avatars, three-dimensional digital rep…

  • Does the Quality of the Computer Graphics Matter when Judging Distances in Visually Immersive Environments

    William B Thompson, Peter Willemsen et al.ARTICLEPRESENCE Virtual and Augmented…2004Cited by: 2

    In the real world, people are quite accurate in judging distances to locations in the environment, at least for targets resting on the ground plane and distances out to about 20 m. Distance judgments in visually immersive environments are much less accurate. Several studies have now shown that in visually immersive environments, the world appears significantly smaller than intended. This study investigates whether or not the compression in appare…

  • Interpersonal Distance in Immersive Virtual Environments

    Open AccessJeremy N Bailenson, Jim Blascovich et al.ARTICLEPersonality and Social Psychology…2003

    Digital immersive virtual environment technology (IVET) enables behavioral scientists to conduct ecologically realistic experiments with near-perfect experimental control. The authors employed IVET to study the interpersonal distance maintained between participants and virtual humans. In Study 1, participants traversed a three-dimensional virtual room in which a virtual human stood. In Study 2, a virtual human approached participants. In both stu…

  • Target Article: Immersive Virtual Environment Technology as a Methodological Tool for Social Psychology

    Jim Blascovich, Jack Loomis et al.ARTICLEPsychological Inquiry2002

    Historically, at least 3 methodological problems have dogged experimental social psychology: the experimental control-mundane realism trade-off, lack of replication, and unrepresentative sampling. We argue that immersive virtual environment technology (IVET) can help ameliorate, if not solve, these methodological problems and, thus, holds promise as a new social psychological research tool. In this article, we first present an overview of IVET an…

  • Visually Controlled Locomotion: Its Dependence on Optic Flow, Three-Dimensional Space Perception, and Cognition

    Jack M Loomis, Andrew C BeallARTICLEEcological Psychology1998

    this article is to broaden the topic empirically and theoretically. At the empirical level, we argue that there are a number of visually controlled maneuvers that need to be addressed for their own sake, for they involve more than can be learned from research on aiming and braking. At the theoretical level, we argue that optic flow needs to be supplemented by other explanatory primitives, including the actor's perception of three-dimensional spat…
