VERSE Software Framework: Analyzing Interaction in Social VR

Top: Demo Video and Introduction to the VERSE Software Framework for Research in Social VR The VERSE software framework enables a systematic analysis of immersive virtual interaction among users. The current focus is on supporting the facilitator (researcher or moderator) of a virtual encounter between two users in VR in an office-like environment. While the users cooperate on a task or converse with each other, the facilitator can intervene or collect data on gazes, non-verbal communication and the cooperation outcomes. This process is supported by a special facilitator interface and a data-model driven export facility. The VERSE Framework is released under an open‑source license (MIT / GPL-3.0). Here are links to the source code and related documentation: VERSE SOURCE CODE (Github) VERSE USER MANUAL (pdf) AVATAR SET REFERENCE (pdf) If you have questions about using the softare, you can find our contact information here.
