At Empathic Computing Lab (ECL), our research focuses on empathic computing, which is a process of capturing the experience of one user and sharing it with the other, creating an understanding between them to improve their collaboration. In our recent work, we applied empathic computing to Mixed Reality (MR), which yielded interesting outcomes. For this talk, I will share our results from three studies that explored different aspects of empathic computing in MR including sharing of physiological signal in Virtual Reality (VR), eye-gaze-based interaction in VR, and sharing gaze in remote collaboration between Augmented Reality (AR) and VR.
