We are pleased to announce the 4th Workshop on Virtual Social Interaction in London this December. This workshop aims to bring together researchers from a diversity of domains working to understand, model, and generate social interactions.
By highlighting the interplay between science and technology, we can better help each other understand the building blocks of natural social behaviour and find ways to reconstruct that behaviour synthetically in order to test new theories and build more realistic virtual social interactions. This year we will get a deeper look into what it means to be a social animal both from the perspectives of social robotics and animation, as well as comparative studies in great apes. Whether you have a background in psychology, neuroscience, or computer science, we welcome you all to join us in London this winter.
