Gaze and Heart Rate Synchronization in Computer-Mediated Collaboration

Published: 25 May 2021 Publication History

Abstract

Computer-mediated collaboration has become an integral part of our every day functioning. Despite decreased non-verbal communication and face-to-face contact with partners of collaboration, people learned how to remotely work together. The consequences of decreased non-verbal signals such as gaze communication in remote collaboration are however not fully investigated. In a series of three experiments, we propose solutions to enhance quality of remote collaboration. The present paper is focused on examining the relation between gaze and heart reaction during face-to-face and remote collaboration.
