New in @pnas.org! We analyzed 38 million US obituaries to see how we remember the deceased:
- Tradition & benevolence dominate legacies
- Major cultural events (e.g., 9/11) shifted what values were emphasized
- Gender & age of the deceased shape legacies

How do groups behave in VR?
Monique Santoso coded 9,000 speech acts to develop Virtual Reality Interaction Dynamics Scheme, 10 speech acts (e.g., disagreements, context-dependent commentary). Prior speech acts and current nonverbal behavior predict group action.

Panel of six figures featuring users engaging in VR activities in the presence and absence of virtual mirrors. These activities including getting acquainted with their avatar, socialization, and drawing.
A table featuring a non-exhaustive list of barriers to inclusive avatar embodiment in social VR. Categories in this list are embodied glitches and rendering issues, embodied design bias, disruptions to immersion, and survival tactics for embodied racial harassment.
New paper out! We explore avatar embodiment experiences of 52 Black users in social VR from ethnographic interviews + lab study. Findings unpack embodied consequences of racial representation in immersive VR and how users navigated challenges to expressing identity. vhil.stanford.edu/publications...
