Entering the metaverse
Investigating social virtual reality platforms and experiences.
Social virtual reality platforms promise shared presence, but people use them in ways designers did not plan. This SSHRC Insight project investigates who uses social VR, what they do there, and how platform design shapes those experiences. Published results include Disembodied, Asocial, and Unreal, Collective Embodiment, Experiential Disparities in Social VR, and User Traits Mosaic.
