Virtual Environments and Human-Computer Interaction Anxiety: An Experimental Study

In a world where interaction is a significant part of everyday life, personal space (PS) – an invisible bubble surrounding human body is important. This is because PS functions as a comfort zone during interaction, a factor in designing physical environments, and invading such space produces anxiety and discomfort. Little is known, however, about how personal space might operate in virtual envi...

Social Learning in a Human Society: An Experimental Study

This paper presents an experimental study to investigate the learning and decision making behavior of individuals in a human society. Social learning is used as the mathematical basis for modelling interaction of individuals that aim to perform a perceptual task interactively. A psychology experiment was conducted on a group of undergraduate students at the University of British Columbia to exa...

Machine Learning and Citizen Science: Opportunities and Challenges of Human-Computer Interaction

Background and Aim: In processing large data, scientists have to perform the tedious task of analyzing hefty bulk of data. Machine learning techniques are a potential solution to this problem. In citizen science, human and artificial intelligence may be unified to facilitate this effort. Considering the ambiguities in machine performance and management of user-generated data, this paper aims to...
