Title: Meet Yourself, the Police, and Celebrities in Shared VR
Abstract: One of the most powerful uses of virtual reality is its support for remotely located people to meet together. Meeting in VR where each person is represented by a virtual body, which naturally exhibits body gestures, head turns, eye movements and facial expressions, where all the participants are in the same virtual space, is a very different experience from teleconferencing. People can maintain eye contact, gesture towards each other, change their physical proxemics relationships, take a walk together, almost as in reality. This talk will go over some of the history of shared VR, and also discuss developments that include meeting yourself, and interacting with celebrities. I will discuss the GuestXR project that combines virtual meetings with Machine Learning in order to address problems that may occur in virtual meetings, and ideas around the development of a Metaverse.
Bio: Mel Slater is a Distinguished Investigator at the University of Barcelona in the Institute of Neurosciences, and co-Director of the Event Lab (Experimental Virtual Environments for Neuroscience and Technology). He was previously Professor of Virtual Environments at University College London in the Department of Computer Science. He has been involved in research in virtual reality since the early 1990s, and has been first supervisor of 41 PhDs in graphics and virtual reality since 1989. He held a European Research Council Advanced Grant TRAVERSE 2009-2015 and a second Advanced Grant MoTIVE 2018-2023. He is a Research Award Winner of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in 2021, and was elected to the IEEE VGTC Virtual Reality Academy in 2022. He is Field Editor of Frontiers in Virtual Reality, and Chief Editor of the Human Behaviour in Virtual Reality section. His publications can be seen on http://publicationslist.org/melslater.
