Podcast appearances and mentions of jeremy bailenson

In this episode, Michael Krasny sat down with virtual reality and augmented reality expert and Stanford professor Jeremy Bailenson in an expansive and highly illuminating discussion about the present and future of both VR and AR and the ongoing and imminent connections to AI.Krasny began by asking Bailenson about his evolution as a VR pioneer and its present status. Bailenson spoke of "presence" and the filming of a Sixty Minutes episode complete with a real feeling earthquake and an accompanying panic attack, followed by a discussion of "the proteus effect" and the effect of avatars. Krasny then asked Bailenson about funding and his history with Meta's Mark Zuckerberg and Bailenson spoke about NSF and NIH funding and concerns and safeguards he had if funding is hit under Trump, as well as his past experiences with politicians who sought to stop funding VR and AR research and what he (Bailenson) has done by way of preparation for that possibility. Krasny then asked Bailenson about the downsides and dangers of VR and AR, possible guidelines and his work with athletic teams through STRIVR. The two then spoke about visualization and uses of VR in different sports as well as "zoom fatigue," a phenomenon Bailenson coined the term for, and end of life VR use, and went on to discuss VR and mental health, VR and education and VR in the workplace, its effect on productivity, as well as VR and AR and sex. This rich and illuminating dialogue concluded with talk about the Sphere in Las Vegas, (which Bailenson has been very involved in), and immersive experiences in general, as well as Gen AI and talking in the future to figures from one's past. In the end of the interview, Krasny asked Beilenson to gauge and evaluate the effect and impact of the Stanford environment on his research.

L'effet Protéus est un phénomène psychologique observé dans le contexte de la réalité virtuelle, où le comportement d'une personne peut être influencé par les caractéristiques de son avatar. Cet effet tire son nom de Protéus, une divinité grecque capable de changer de forme, symbolisant ainsi la manière dont les gens adaptent leur comportement en fonction de l'apparence virtuelle qu'ils adoptent. Explication de l'effet Protéus : 1. Origine du concept : - L'effet Protéus a été décrit pour la première fois par les chercheurs Nick Yee et Jeremy Bailenson de l'université Stanford en juin 2007. Ils ont découvert que les utilisateurs de mondes virtuels ou de jeux vidéo modifient leur comportement selon l'apparence de leur avatar, comme la taille, l'attractivité ou même le style vestimentaire. 2. Comment l'effet fonctionne : - L'apparence et les caractéristiques d'un avatar influencent les perceptions et les actions de l'utilisateur. Par exemple, une personne avec un avatar plus grand et plus imposant peut se sentir et se comporter de manière plus assertive ou confiante, même en dehors du monde virtuel. De même, un avatar attractif peut amener une personne à être plus sociable et positive dans ses interactions. 3. Implications psychologiques : - L'effet Protéus montre comment l'identité virtuelle peut affecter l'identité réelle. Cette influence se manifeste dans des contextes variés, comme la communication en ligne, le travail collaboratif virtuel, ou même les thérapies de réalité virtuelle. - Ce phénomène suggère que l'adoption d'un avatar avec des traits positifs pourrait potentiellement améliorer l'estime de soi et les interactions sociales des utilisateurs, tandis que des avatars aux traits négatifs pourraient entraîner des comportements plus agressifs ou réservés. 4. Applications et recherches : - L'effet Protéus est étudié dans les domaines de la psychologie, des jeux vidéo, des réseaux sociaux, et des environnements virtuels professionnels. Il a des implications pour le développement de technologies immersives, la conception d'expériences de réalité virtuelle et augmentée, et même dans la compréhension de l'impact des identités numériques sur la vie réelle. En résumé, l'effet Protéus décrit comment les caractéristiques d'un avatar peuvent influencer le comportement et la psychologie d'un individu, soulignant l'impact profond des identités virtuelles sur le monde réel.

We're bringing you a timely best-of episode, given the recent advances in generative AI tools like ChatGPT. A couple years ago we interviewed Jeff Hancock, a Stanford professor of communication whose research explores the psychological and interpersonal processes at play when people communicate with each other and with computers. At the time of this conversation, ChatGPT wasn't yet available to the public, but today Jeff's insights about how such technologies impact the ways we communicate seem more relevant than ever. We hope you'll take another listen and enjoy.Episode Reference Links:Stanford Profile: Jeffrey HancockJeff's Lab: Stanford Social Media LabStanford's AI Institute: Stanford HAIJeff and Jeremy Bailenson's paper on deep fakes: The Social Impact of DeepfakesJeff's paper on AI accessibility: Not All AI are Equal: Exploring the Accessibility of AI-Mediated Communication TechnologyJeff's paper on encountering fake news: Credibility Perceptions and Detection Accuracy of Fake News Headlines on Social MediaOriginal episode: Ep.177 What Happens When Computers Can Write Like Humans Website /  YouTubeConnect With Us:Episode Transcripts >>> The Future of Everything WebsiteConnect with Russ >>> Threads or Twitter/XConnect with School of Engineering >>> Twitter/XChapters:(00:00:00) IntroductionHost Russ Altman introduces guest Jeff Hancock, a professor of communications at Stanford University.(00:03:04) Evolution of CommunicationHow social media and AI tools like spellcheck have changed the way we communicate.(00:04:08) AI in Everyday CommunicationThe role of AI in daily communication tasks, like email responses, and whether this is beneficial or problematic.(00:06:35) Authenticity and Bias in AI CommunicationThe potential biases in AI-generated language and its societal implications.(00:08:42) Large Language Models and Their CapabilitiesOverview of large language models like GPT-3 and their ability to generate human-like text.(00:10:34) Practical Uses and Implications of AI-Generated TextPractical applications of AI in generating text for marketing, education, and other fields.(00:12:18) Tailoring AI MessagesThe potential of AI to create personalized messages for different demographics.(00:14:49) Ethical Considerations in AI-Assisted WritingThe ethical dilemmas in education regarding AI-assisted writing.(00:17:15) AI and DisinformationThe risks associated with AI-generated disinformation and its impact on society.(00:21:06) AI in Advertising and MarketingAI's role in advertising and marketing, including the ethical considerations of using AI to create highly persuasive content.(00:22:38) Building Resilience Against DisinformationTips for individuals to build resilience against disinformation.(00:26:35) Conclusion Connect With Us:Episode Transcripts >>> The Future of Everything WebsiteConnect with Russ >>> Threads or Twitter/XConnect with School of Engineering >>> Twitter/X

As we continue to challenge our current mindset about the definition of tourism, and what it has the potential to be, we seek guests who have boldly taken action in new and exciting directions to explore alternative tourism models. In this episode we talk with Michael Nees, an inbound tour operator who is exploring the possibilities and potential of technology to create innovative and immersive tourism experiences. Michael has developed a range of Virtual Journeys that are so much more than just a video - they are an immersive experience for the senses and the closest thing to really being there.  Michael's infinitely curious nature, his ‘imagine this' approach and long-term thinking place him as an innovative leader in our sector. Michael shares his concerns for the climate challenges we will face, and our need to be adaptive and resilient. He recognises the urgent need to think differently about tourism models, and has a deep desire not to go back to business as usual, but instead to start shifting his mindset to think about how tourism can be different. He asks how tourism can reduce its carbon footprint, and still serve travellers through immersive storytelling.  This episode is not an in depth exploration of the various types of technology (virtual, augmented, extended reality) but rather an invitation for listeners to challenge their perceptions of what tourism is, to take a long-term view of our sector, consider the potential that technological innovations offer tourism, and to open our minds to new ways forward for our sector.     Join the conversation:  Join our LinkedIn network of likeminded professionals exploring what a regenerative future for tourism can look like.

The next frontier of the internet is the metaverse. That's why Mark Zuckerberg changed the name of his company from Facebook to Meta, and just sold $10 billion in corporate bonds to raise money for metaverse-related projects.How might we learn from our experience with social media, and anticipate the harms of the metaverse before they arise? What would it look like to design a humane metaverse — that respects our attention, improves our well-being, and strengthens our democracy?This week on Your Undivided Attention, we talk with two pioneers who are thinking critically about the development of the metaverse. Professor Jeremy Bailenson is the Founding director of Stanford's Virtual Human Interaction Lab, where he studies how virtual experiences lead to changes in perceptions of self and others. Dr. Courtney Cogburn is an Associate Professor at Columbia's School of Social Work, where she examines associations between racism and stress-related disease. Jeremy and Courtney collaborated on 1000 Cut Journey, a virtual reality experience about systemic racism.CORRECTIONS: In the episode, Jeremy says that Facebook bought Oculus for $3 billion, but the actual price was $2.1 billion.Courtney says that the average US adult consumes 9 hours of media per day, but the actual number in 2022 is closer to 13 hours.Jeremy estimated that in 2021, between 15-20 million VR headsets were sold in the US, but the number of headsets sold worldwide that year was 11.2 million, which means that the US number was significantly lower.Finally, Aza mentions the "pockets of 4.6 billion people" — implying that there are 4.6 billion smartphone users. The global number of social media users is 4.7 billion, and the number of smartphone users is actually 6.6 billion.RECOMMENDED MEDIA: Experience on Demand: What Virtual Reality Is, How It Works, and What It Can Dohttps://www.amazon.com/Experience-Demand-Virtual-Reality-Works/dp/0393253694Jeremy Bailenson's 2018 book exploring how virtual reality can be harnessed to improve our everyday livesExperiencing Racism in VRhttps://www.ted.com/talks/courtney_cogburn_experiencing_racism_in_vr_courtney_d_cogburn_phd_tedxrvaCourtney Cogburn's 2017 TEDx talk about how using virtual reality to help people experience the complexities of racismDo Artifacts Have Politics?https://faculty.cc.gatech.edu/~beki/cs4001/Winner.pdf   Technology philosopher Langdon Winner's seminal 1980 article, in which he writes, "by far the greatest latitude of choice exists the very first time a particular instrument, system, or technique is introduced."RECOMMENDED YUA EPISODES: Do You Want To Become A Vampire? with LA Paulhttps://www.humanetech.com/podcast/39-do-you-want-to-become-a-vampirePardon the Interruptions with Gloria Markhttps://www.humanetech.com/podcast/7-pardon-the-interruptionsBonus - What Is Humane Technology?https://www.humanetech.com/podcast/bonus-what-is-humane-technologyYour Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology.

Why is video chat so exhausting? What makes it different from regular, in-person meetings? We talk with Dr. Jeremy Bailenson, professor and founding director of the Virtual Human Interaction Lab at Stanford University, about the best ways to mitigate and manage the feeling he calls “Zoom fatigue.”

Zoom fatigue. We've all experienced it, but why does “Zooming” exhaust us so much? Why do meetings leave us feeling more depleted now than they did pre-pandemic?Here to help answer these questions is Jeremy Bailenson. Jeremy is the founding director of Stanford University's Virtual Human Interaction Lab, and he recently wrote an article titled ‘Why video calls cause Zoom fatigue and what to do about it.' Today, he shares some of the key takeaways from that article and the research his team has analyzed. Jeremy explores topics like nonverbal causes of Zoom fatigue and why having an “all-day mirror” is so exhausting for our brains. Plus, he explains tips and tricks for helping combat the negative effects of video meetings so we can all avoid becoming zoombies.If you enjoyed today's episode, find more B-Well Together goodness at salesforce.com/plus.

Many of us have been living life for the past year in a world of virtual meetings. We've been jumping from one video call to another, connecting with co-workers and classmates on our laptops, cellphones and other devices. If you're feeling exhausted, overwhelmed and a little grumpy with all of this screen time you're not alone. Jeremy Bailenson, a professor and founding director of Stanford University’s Virtual Human Interaction Lab, calls it Zoom fatigue.

If you’ve been working from home over the past year you may wonder why you feel even more exhausted than normal. This could be due to Zoom Fatigue. In this episode, we’ll explore an article from CNBC that references a Stanford study about this phenomenon. In the listener questions segment, I’ll answer questions about RMDs and Roth conversions. Let’s get to the bottom of your exhaustion--press play now.  Outline of This Episode [1:22] Zoom fatigue affects people on a psychological level [3:26] Solutions for Zoom fatigue [6:17] Future tax rates and RMDs [10:44] How to pay for Roth conversions? Why are we so exhausted after video conferencing? Over the past year, many of us have been using Zoom and other video conferencing applications to replace in-person meetings. The constant video conferencing has led to increased fatigue at the end of the day and a researcher with Stanford University wondered why. Jeremy Bailenson researched this issue and recently published a paper about how video conferencing affects people on a psychological level.  4 reasons for Zoom fatigue Jeremy concluded that there are four different contributors to Zoom Fatigue: The extended level of eye contact is unnatural. The screen causes us to look at each other for an extended period of time. In a face-to-face meeting, we wouldn’t be behaving in such a way. Non-verbal signals during video conferences require more effort than in-person meetings. During in-person meetings, our nonverbal cues happen quite naturally and without any effort. However, we have to exaggerate our non-verbal communication in a video chat which requires more thought and increases our cognitive load Watching yourself in the little box on the screen for prolonged periods is unnatural and causes self-critique.  Being forced to sit still in one place for long is exhausting. Since we are on camera we have little room to move around naturally.  Ways to battle Zoom fatigue To alleviate these issues, Bailenson has the following tips: Hide self-view.  Shrink the participant’s video window to make other people a bit smaller.  Spend some time adjusting your setup ahead of an important meeting.  Turn off your camera and take a five-minute audio-only break during a long meeting. Set cultural norms in your workplace that it’s OK to turn off the camera sometimes. Zoom fatigue is a new version of burnout that is important to mitigate. You want to retire when you are ready rather than because you are feeling burnt out due to video conferencing. Try using these tips to help you combat the exhaustion you feel after video conferencing.  Resources & People Mentioned CNBC article - Zoom Fatigue and How to Fix It A 15 question scale for evaluating Zoom fatigue You can participate in the study on Zoom Fatigue Connect with Benjamin Brandt Get the Retire-Ready Toolkit: http://retirementstartstodayradio.com/ Follow Ben on Twitter: https://twitter.com/retiremeasap Subscribe to the newsletter: https://retirementstartstodayradio.com/newsletter Subscribe to Retirement Starts Today on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, Podbean, Player FM, iHeart, or Spotify

“Zoom fatigue” is a generic term for feeling drained after sitting in front of any kind of video conference for much of the day. That’s according to Jeremy Bailenson, founding director of Stanford University’s Virtual Human Interaction Lab. He says using Zoom is like being inside an elevator with people who are all staring at you for the whole ride. He shares tips for making these calls more comfortable, such as hiding “self view” and minimizing the window so it doesn’t take up your entire monitor. Also, turn on the camera at the start of the meeting so you can get a sense of others, then turn off the camera.

Could virtual offices provide an alternative to endless Zoom calls? Ed Bulter speaks to Jeremy Bailenson, director of Stanford University's Virtual Human Interaction Lab, about the phenomenon of 'Zoom fatigue', and why virtual reality could provide a solution. Phillip Wang, CEO of the startup Gather, shows us round his virtual office platform that combines video conferencing with old-school video game graphics. Ed tries out a meeting in virtual reality with Anand Agarawala, CEO of the VR platform Spatial. And Marc Bena from PwC explains why interest in virtual meetings is growing among businesses.

On August 7, 2020, I participated in a panel discussion about Ethical Design in Immersive Media organized by the University of Oregon as a part of Design Week Portland. The panel featured Stanford University Virtual Human Interaction Lab's Jeremy Bailenson, who talked about biometric data privacy in XR. Oregon Reality Lab Director Donna Davis talked about accessibility & diversity of identity representation. I gave an overview of ethical issues that designers face, and the conversation was moderated by University of Oregon Assistant Professor of Media Psychology Daniel Pimentel.

Today's discussion features Courtney D. Cogburn and Jeremy Bailenson. Courtney is an Associate Professor of Social Work at Columbia University, Courtney is on the faculty of the Columbia Population Research Center and a faculty affiliate of the Center on African American Politics and Society and the Data Institute. Courtney's work focuses on the ways that society characterizes and measures racism, the effects of cultural racism in media, as well as the effects of racism on cultural inequalities in health. Jeremy Bailenson is a Thomas More Storke Professor in the Department of Communication at Stanford University, and is also the Founding Director of Stanford's Virtual Human Interaction Lab. Jeremy studies the psychology of Virtual and Augmented Reality, specifically how virtual experiences lead to changes in perceptions of self and others. Jeremy's work predominantly focuses on important social and behavioral issues including climate change, homelessness, and now, racism.Courtney and Jeremy join the broadcast to talk about their collaboration on "1000 Cut Journey" an immersive virtual reality experience, that allows participants of the experience, to become Michael Sterling, a fictional black male character, as he encounters racism as a young child, an adolescent, and a young adult. The world premier of the experience was featured at the Tribeca Film Festival Virtual Arcade in 2018, as well as at the New Orleans Film Festival Cinema Reset in 2018.Items discussed:-how VR can be used as a lever on very difficult problems by merging technology and very carefully constructed narratives based on empirical data-the transdisciplinary approach to merging different studies of research and thought-the specific power of virtual reality, the true nature of VR as an experience that you can walk away with, and the implications of these experiences to understanding, visualizing, and creating new perspective can be used to change everything from policing to policy-Learnings from working on the project, and future uses of virtual reality to bridge the gaps of understanding of the many complexities of racism, while motivating audiences to act on racism and racial injustices.Thank you for listening!Full Simply Tech LIVE Video Broadcast: https://youtu.be/EQKNkSbd3ikWays to contact Courtney and Jeremy:Courtney D.

Podcast Description “There’s a disconnect between beliefs and behavior. And there’s an investment in the symbolism of one’s beliefs and translating that as if it represents behavior when it doesn’t.” Dr. Courtney D. Cogburn is an associate professor at the Columbia University School of Social Work and faculty of the Columbia Population Research Center. She employs a transdisciplinary research strategy to improve the characterization and measurement of racism and in examining the role of racism in the production of racial inequities in health. Dr. Cogburn’s work also explores the potential of media and technology in eradicating racism and eliminating racial inequities in health. She is the lead creator of 1000 Cut Journey, an immersive virtual reality experience of racism that premiered at the 2018 Tribeca Film Festival developed in collaboration with Jeremy Bailenson at Stanford University. Dr. Cogburn is developing additional projects attempting to leverage emerging technologies to tackle issues of structural and cultural racism. Dr. Cogburn completed postdoctoral training at Harvard University in the Robert Wood Johnson Health & Society Scholar Program and at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. She received her Ph.D. in Education and Psychology, and MSW from the University of Michigan and her BA in Psychology from the University of Virginia. Transcription 00:30 Kim Crayton: Hello, everyone. And welcome to today's episode of the #CauseAScene Podcast. I have someone on that I do not know. I actually saw some tweets about a talk they did at All Tech is Human, and I immediately reached out to Dr. Courtney Cogburn to come on the show and talk about what she was disrupting that audience with. So, Dr. Cogburn could you please introduce yourself to the audience? Dr. Courtney D. Cogburn: Hi, I'm Dr. Courtney Cockburn. I'm an associate professor at the Columbia University School of Social Work. KC: We always start with two questions: Why is it important to cause a scene? And how are you causing a scene? 01:16 CDC: I think it's important to cause a scene, because it suggests that you're awake and paying attention and that there's meaning to your voice and presence in the world. So, are you paying attention? Do you see any of the problems before our eyes? And do you find value in yourself enough to do something about it? And so I think inherently bad intersection results in causing a scene. How am I causing a scene? You know, I'm a little bit irreverent in general. I do what I want to do. And that's not common for a tenure-track professor at, you know, an elite white institution. But it's absolutely the way that I approach my work. A phrase I've been using more and more lately that I like—because I got it from Game of Thrones—there's a line—I don't know if you watch Game of Thrones—but there's a line where one of the characters says, "We don't have time for this. The world is ending and we need to make some choices or some decisions." And so I used it a lot lately because we don't have time for pontificating and dancing around issues, or really even selfishly focusing only on our own careers and whether we get tenure or not, or whether we get promoted or not. And while those things are important, I think what we're doing for the world and for people and communities around us and how we're leaving the world, given these really existential pressing issues is part of what's important to me. So, for me specifically, that focuses on issues of racism and the various spaces in which racism shows up, which is every space. 03:13 KC: All right, So, can you tell us...let's just start where I started. What was your talk at All Tech is Human about? CDC: So in that talk—it was a lightning talk—I had five minutes to make a point. KC: Wow! OK, so... wow! CDC: And I'm thinking, just like, we don't have time for this. KC: Exactly! 03:37 CDC: And so my talk was about being antiracist in tech.

What do sales clerks have in common with NFL quarterbacks? Apart from a competitive nature, both can benefit from VR training. Former Stanford football player Derek Belch drew on his athletic background and a Master’s in VR to deliver the virtual goods via STRIVR, the startup he co-founded with Stanford professor Jeremy Bailenson. STRIVR started out supplying VR to football teams and has since made a concerted push into the enterprise. The technology has the potential to improve hard and soft skills.

Derek Belch is the co-founder and CEO of STRIVR, a company on a mission to elevate performance through immersive experience.Derek incubated the company with co-founder Jeremy Bailenson in Stanford’s Virtual Human Interaction Lab while pursuing his Masters in Virtual Reality and serving as a graduate assistant football coach.Using sports as his proving ground, Derek’s vision quickly expanded from the athlete to the enterprise. Derek is driven by a competitive passion for impacting performance, and with STRIVR, is pushing everyone to train like an athlete.In this conversation, Derek shares the origin story for the company, including how he landed at Stanford pursuing a Masters in VR, the incubation of the STRIVR product, its rapid rise in sports, and the opportunistic shift to the enterprise.Derek touches on the science of learning within VR and he goes on to explore more deeply the impact it can have on the field and on the job.Self-admittedly, Derek is not a tech guy; yet he and STRIVR are excelling with this frontier technology. He relies on strong leadership traits and lessons learned, and he shares a few of them here in the episode.You can find all of the show notes at thearshow.com.

We sit down with Derek Belch, CEO of Strivr, to discuss enterprise VR training. Strivr is the leader and best known for their product delivered to Walmart installed in each store on over 17,000 Oculus Go's. The conversation begins around the origins of Strivr between Derek Belch and Jeremy Bailenson then moves into the details and challenges of onboarding enterprise clients. After covering the details of custom XR training we move onto the bigger picture of of using AR and VR for training and their use cases from custom training, to sports, and improving soft skills. Lastly, Derek closes out the conversation by sharing proven value and stats delivered to clients.   00'00": How did Strivr get started? 03'25": The Strivr mission statement 05'00": Approach training as religion and performance improvement 05'20": Was VR a hard sell to clients? 06'45": challenges in the enterprise space 07'20": Oculus enterprise licensing 08'27": Logistics of building for enterprise at scale 10'00": Is everything custom or are some things reused? 12'20": Training modules aren’t all that different from games. What are the differences? 15'14": How do you work with the creating a statement of work? 17'05": Is strivr set to exclusively working in the enterprise and sports verticals? 18'10": What’s next and how is newer technology changing how VR training is done. 21'20": Is the cost or the technology holding back AR from widespread enterprise implementation? 23'20": Who is requesting AR? 23'50": How setting unrealistic expectations are misleading stakeholders and consumers. 25'15": What are the most requested use cases from potential clients? 26'30": Soft skill use cases and how Soft skills are a hard sell because it’s difficult to measure value. 28'22": What are the challenges behind implementing sexual harassment training? 31'00": The science supports that VR is more effective for training.

“Clearly, the killer use case, the most valuable thing 6DoF can do is allow two or more humans to interact—just be with each other from wherever they are.” The internet has succeeded in connecting people to machines and information. So, what's missing? Anjney Midha argues that the element of human interaction is what the web lacks, and he is on a mission to develop the tools creators can use to design shared experiences online through XR. Anjney Midha is the cofounder and CEO of Ubiquity6, a startup using computer vision to create multiplayer experiences for augmented and virtual reality. Founded by alums from Metamind, Facebook, Tesla, Twitter and Stanford, the Ubiquity team is leveraging spatial computing to bring people together in valuable new ways.

Imagine you’re a father or a mother of three kids. Your city is in the middle of a civil war. At any time a rocket might burst through your wall. Soldiers might round your family up, or kill them in crossfire. What do you do? You leave, of course. You do whatever you have to do to get your kids to safety. There will be many deadly risks along the way. But you know what’s the worst? The not knowing. The constant thoughts inside your head of everything that might go wrong, everything you hope will go right. The trusting looks on your kids’ faces, when, in fact, they have no idea where they’re going or why. Since 2011, an estimated 11 million Syrians have fled their homes. They and refugees from other troubled nations like Eritrea and Somalia have been trying to migrate Westward and northward, to Turkey, then to Europe. Many have died along the way. Many thousands of others have been detained in refugee camps while nations decide what to do with them. I’m here today with  filmmakers Lorena Luciano and Filippo Piscopo. Their new documentary, IT WILL BE CHAOS airs on HBO this month. It follows Eritrean, Somali, and Syrian refugees on their harrowing journeys to new lives in Europe.

“…Using VR scent, touch, and sight to alter the subjective experience of taste is going to be very large project; not just an academic project but also for those in the food industry.” Does feeling and smelling donuts in a Virtual Reality setting contribute to eating less and feeling fuller? In this episode, Jeremy Bailenson, Founding Director of the Virtual Human Interaction Lab at Stanford University, discusses a study (recently published in Presence: Teleoperators and Virtual Environments journal) that sought to explore the effects of haptic and olfactory cues through virtual food on human satiation and eating behavior. Bailenson also discusses the benefits and caveats to standalone consumer VR; the trend of high-end, location-based VR; reality-blurring (when a virtual memory gets mistaken for a physical one); and more.

The Future of Everything with Russ Altman: "Jeremy Bailenson: Taking a grand tour of the latest in virtual reality" What’s next in VR? Jeremy Bailenson and Russ Altman discuss the fast-growing field in this episode of the Future of Everything radio show. Originally aired on SiriusXM on May 5, 2018. Recorded at Stanford Video.

From Oculus Rift to Samsung VR, the era of virtual reality is right around the corner, if not already upon us. But what are the psychological impacts of VR and what are the best uses of this much-hyped technology — the “killer apps,” as they say? Jeremy Bailenson is a professor of communication at Stanford and author of the new book, Experience on Demand. He has been studying virtual reality and its effects on humans since 1999. Back then, his dream was to create virtual office spaces that might absolve people of the need to commute every day. These days, he studies how to make virtual reality even realer and which uses are closest to becoming the indispensable apps that could turn VR from a curiosity to a must-have in every home and office. From exploring the subtleties of virtual donuts to the most effective ways to teach, Bailenson says the best uses of VR may not be those that leap immediately to mind. Join The Future of Everything host Russ Altman and Bailenson for a grand tour of the very latest in virtual reality.

VR can be used for so much more than cheap thrills and casual gaming. Jeremy Bailenson tells us how he is using VR to change the way we perceive racism, highlight the impact of climate change, and help us step into the shoes of our sporting heroes.

We talk to the founding director of Stanford University's Virtual Human Interaction Lab, Jeremy Bailenson. Bailenson’s lab studies how virtual reality can affect empathy—how it makes you feel to virtually embody someone else. VR offers the ability to be in someone else’s shoes in a way that you can’t recreate in real life—and those immersive experiences, whether it be facing a day in the life of a person experiencing homelessness, or diving to the corals that are right now being bleached by climate change, have lingering effects on all of us.

Virtual reality is able to effectively blur the line between reality and illusion, pushing the limits of our imagination and granting us access to any experience imaginable. With well-crafted simulations, these experiences, which are so immersive that the brain believes they’re real, are already widely available with a VR headset and will only become more accessible and commonplace. But how does this new medium affect its users, and does it have a future beyond fantasy and escapism?This week on the show, Jeremy Bailenson draws on two decades spent researching the psychological effects of VR and other mass media to help us understand this powerful new tool. He offers expert guidelines for interacting with VR and describes the profound ways this technology can be put to use―not to distance ourselves from reality, but to enrich our lives and influence us to treat others, the environment, and even ourselves better.There are dangers and many unknowns in using VR, but it also can help us hone our performance, recover from trauma, improve our learning and communication abilities, and enhance our empathic and imaginative capacities. Like any new technology, its most incredible uses might be waiting just around the corner.Jeremy Bailenson is founding director of Stanford University’s Virtual Human Interaction Lab, Thomas More Storke Professor in the Department of Communication, a Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment, and a Faculty Leader at Stanford’s Center for Longevity. He earned a B.A. cum laude from the University of Michigan in 1994 and a Ph.D. in cognitive psychology from Northwestern University in 1999.

Jeremy Bailenson is founding director of Stanford University’s Virtual Human Interaction Lab and a Faculty Leader at Stanford’s Center for Longevity. He earned a Ph.D. in cognitive psychology from Northwestern University.   Bailenson studies the psychology of Virtual Reality (VR) and has been in the space of VR since 1999, in particular he studies how virtual experiences lead to changes in perceptions of self and others. His lab builds and studies systems that allow people to meet in virtual space, and explores the changes in the nature of social interaction. His most recent research focuses on how VR can transform education, environmental conservation, empathy, and health.   He’s just penned his second book, Experience on Demand: What Virtual Reality Is, How It Works, and What It Can Do, which forms the basis for our conversation.   Expect to learn a number of things in this show, including: What some of the applications for virtual reality are, including how it might be used to quell biases and reshape a person’s worldview What some of the risks and potential downsides might be and as such, what virtual reality companies need to be thinking about How far away we are from mainstream adoption   Topics discussed: Superbowl Sunday How VR can be used to hone our imagination, make us more empathic, improve our performance, improve learning and recover from trauma Different applications for VR Potential risks and downsides Why VR is not an ‘either or’ proposition How VR can help us better understand biases to help with creative work Challenges to mainstream adoption and parallels to the past How Jeremy is using VR to train NFL teams and the German national football team   Show notes: Twitter: @StanfordVR Faculty page: https://web.stanford.edu/~bailenso/ Get Jeremy's books: Experience on Demand: https://amzn.to/2obxZba Infinite Reality: https://amzn.to/2BKIg7U   Join the conversation on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/futuresquared/ where you can discuss episodes, request guests, propose questions for forthcoming guests and access exclusive content and special offers!

Jeremy Bailenson, the director of Stanford University's Virtual Human Interaction Lab, talks with Recode's Kara Swisher about his new book, "Experience on Demand: What Virtual Reality Is, How It Works, and What It Can Do." Bailenson came to Stanford to study how people can communicate with each other in a virtual world, but now his focus is on how VR can motivate us to eat less, help the homeless or have empathy with a person of another race, gender or age. He discusses why the technology has not yet taken off among consumers and why tech and media companies are wrong to think we should be spending hours at a time in a VR headset.

How do you know that you’re really where you are right now? I mean, where are you getting this sense of place from? A bunch of data from at least some of your five senses enters your brain where it’s cross-referenced with categories from memory. You’re making a probabilistic calculation: This sure looks, feels, and smells like my office. Jeremy Bailenson, my guest today, has been experimenting with cutting edge virtual reality for over a decade now. His Virtual Human Interaction Lab studies the ways VR’s unique sense of presence—of putting you into a different place (and maybe time) from the one you’re in can be used for education, healing, and—yes—generally making the world a better place. His new book is called: EXPERIENCE ON DEMAND: What Virtual Reality Is, How It Works, and What It Can Do.

More at http://philosophytalk.org/shows/digital-selves. Second Life and dozens of other online adventures involve creating digital selves, and millions of users are taking advantage of the opportunity to develop new personas. Cyberpunk literature, like William Gibson's Neuromancer, describes worlds in which the line between digital selves and real selves is hard to draw. What makes your digital self you? What does your choice of digital selves show about you? And what makes onscreen representation more or less effective as digital selves? John and Ken are joined by Jeremy Bailenson, Director of Stanford's Virtual Human Interaction Lab.

Jeremy Bailenson explores how feedback from virtual reality tools can lead to a deeper understanding of oneself – as well as motivate a change ones behavior.

(May 19, 2012) Jeremy Bailenson discusses the history of virtual reality, his work at Stanford's Virtual Human Interaction Lab, and how advances in this exciting field can be used to improve human behavior.

Millions of people are now interacting in virtual worlds like Second Life and World of Warcraft using the guise of avatars. In these spaces, users can actually design their avatars to be subtly or radically different from who they are in real life. And it turns out how people interact through their avatars – the signals they give one another through conversation and appearance – can tell us a lot about the choices and biases that inform our behavior in the real world. Jeremy Bailenson of Stanford University’s Virtual Human Interaction Lab has been doing a number of experiments with people, avatars, and virtual worlds. As avatars become more common and more useful outside of gaming – people are already using avatars for virtual workplaces, customer service, and advertising – questions of ethics, trust, and honesty become significantly more important. After all, it’s one thing if your avatar is casually conversing with, battling, or dating another avatar who might not be what he or she seems in real life. It’s quite another when corporations or political candidates realize that they can handcraft an avatar to take advantage of your biases and earn your trust for their own purposes. Jeremy sat down with Judith Donath – who leads the Berkman Center’s Law Lab Spring 2010 Speaker Series: The Psychology and Economics of Trust and Honesty – to talk more about this fascinating topic.
