[iva] 3rd Int. Workshop "Virtual Social Interaction" (VSI 2017) --- Extended Deadline!

[Stefan Kopp]

*** 3rd Int. Workshop on Virtual Social Interaction (VSI 2017) ***

Date: July 6-7, 2017, CITEC, University of Bielefeld, Germany
Website: https://sites.google.com/view/vsi2017/home <https://sites.google.com/view/vsi2017/home>

Social interaction is at the core of being human, but the scientific
study of social interaction is challenging. We have only a limited
understanding of the behavioral patterns and the brain and cognitive
mechanisms which allow interactions. New technologies like Virtual
Reality, motion tracking, virtual humans and 3D avatars, can help us
probe and measure human social behaviour without sacrificing the
validity of the interaction. The data we gain allows us to develop and
test new theories and models of the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying
human sociality.

This interdisciplinary workshop will highlight new methods and new 
theories in the domain of social interaction, with a focus on the potential 
of VR and AI technology, and work towards a scientific understanding of 
how people interact. It aims to bring together researchers from Psychology, 
Cognitive Science, Computer Science (VR, AI, HCI), Neuroscience, clinical
fields and other related areas. It is the third after two successful preceding
events held at UCL (London, 2014) and at the University of Salford
(Manchester, 2016).
