"The Influence of Avatars on Moral Decision-Making"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Neuroscience News

A study by researchers from SWPS University, the University of Sussex, and the University of Kent explores how group dynamics, including virtual avatars, impact individuals' moral judgments. The findings reveal that participants often adjust their opinions to align with those of a group, whether the pressure comes from real individuals or AI-controlled avatars in a virtual environment. This adjustment occurs less frequently in scenarios involving harm to others, indicating a moral boundary to social influence. The study underscores the potent influence of digital environments on our judgments and emphasizes the need for further research into the implications of virtual group dynamics.

Exploring the Apple Vision Pro Augmented Reality Goggles.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by ArchDaily

Apple has launched Apple Vision Pro, a spatial computer that uses augmented reality goggles to blend digital and physical worlds. The device features visionOS, the first spatial operating system to create a new way of interacting with digital content. The technology frees two-dimensional apps from screens to allow them to take up physical space, increasing their size and impact, but retaining them as two-dimensional images. The potential impact of this new technology on the way we experience spaces is yet to be fully assessed, but it could bring new ways of experiencing three-dimensional spaces and better integrate architecture with digital environments.
