Visual Information in Coordination, Maine, 2021-2023

In this project, pairs of participants (mostly strangers) were asked to have three different kinds of conversations. Each dyad held all three conversations in one of three kinds of communication media: face-to-face (FTF) in a laboratory setting while socially distanced and wearing masks;videoconference (VC) in a laboratory setting while in separate rooms but able to see one another's full body movements; orVC in a remote setting and able to see only one another's head and torso. From the videos of the interaction, gross metrics of movement were extracted through changes in pixels from frame to frame. This deposit includes only the metrics extracted from the video.
