Virtual reality as a training tool for human interactions

Abstract

With the increasingly globalisation of the world, interaction with people from different cultures than ours is more likely than ever. Knowing how to correctly approach and interact with people that have different social norms than us is a necessary condition to live in this multicultural world. This project provides a tool to learn how to adapt the way we behave. This is achieved using a virtual reality environment as a way to train interactions, with focus on the interpersonal distances we take.
