SyncVR
SyncVR is an innovative Virtual Reality (VR) system designed to facilitate and study Remote Interpersonal Motor Synchronization
Project Description:
SyncVR is an innovative Virtual Reality (VR) system designed to facilitate and study Remote Interpersonal Motor Synchronization (rIMS). Participants engage in synchronized movements, such as hand exercises and avoiding a swinging pendulum, within a shared VR space. As participants synchronize their movements, they receive visual feedback through dynamic color changes in the VR environment, reflecting the level of synchrony. This real-time feedback adds an immersive layer to the experience, helping to reinforce the connection between participants.
By focusing on non-verbal cues and physical synchronization, SyncVR addresses the gap in traditional remote communication tools, which often overlook these critical aspects of human connection. It provides a novel tool for researchers to investigate whether synchronized movements in VR can overcome these limitations and foster deeper social closeness, as found in co-present synchronization studies. A dashboard is provided for researchers to manage the logistics of running experiments and analyzing data.
