some progress
I feel like I’ve spent all of 2009 reading and writing. I have some publications to report:
- (forthcoming) Greg Wadley, Martin Gibbs and Nicolas Ducheneaut
You can be too rich: Mediated communication in a virtual world
in OzChi 2009, Melbourne - (forthcoming) Greg Wadley and Nicolas Ducheneaut
The ‘out-of-avatar experience’: object-focused collaboration in Second Life
in ECSCW 2009, Vienna - (forthcoming) Greg Wadley and Martin R. Gibbs
Speaking in Character: Voice Communication in Virtual Worlds
in William Sims Bainbridge (ed) ‘Online Worlds: Convergence of the Real and the Virtual’, Springer: London - Nicolas Ducheneaut, Ming-Hui “Don” Wen, Nicholas Yee, Greg Wadley
Body and Mind: A Study of Avatar Personalization in Three Virtual Worlds
in CHI 2009, Boston
I’m going to Europe for most of September, to give the ECSCW paper, visit researchers, and give a talk at Roskilde University in late September. The itinerary is on my staff webpage. I blog more when I travel so watch this site go off then.
I gave my PhD completion seminar on 31st July (details at the IDG seminar page). Unfortunately this doesn’t mean my PhD is complete. In Australia this seminar is kind of a combination of “oral defence” and “last minute feedback from colleagues”.
