“…In HCI, there has been a sizable literature examining human social roles in various sociotechnical contexts. Previous work has examined social roles in family life [5,12,73], the workplace [14] and online support communities [159], and researchers have investigated gender roles regarding emerging technologies [106,134,160]. Research in this area has been marshaled toward the automated recognition of social roles, for example in the workplace [7,29,76,155], in teaching [65], and across contexts [6,7,105].…”

Out of the three major approaches to ethics, virtue ethics is uniquely well suited as a moral guide in the digital age, given the pace of sociotechnical change and the complexity of society. Virtue ethics focuses on the traits, situations and actions of moral agents, rather than on rules (as in deontology) or outcomes (consequentialism). Even as interest in ethics has grown within HCI, there has been little engagement with virtue ethics. To address this lacuna and demonstrate further opportunities for ethical design, this paper provides an overview of virtue ethics for application in HCI. It reviews existing HCI work engaging with virtue ethics, provides a primer on virtue ethics to correct widespread misapprehensions within HCI, and presents a deductive literature review illustrating how existing lines of HCI research resonate with the practices of virtue cultivation, paving the way for further work in virtueoriented design.

“…It is surprising, though, that although numerous studies have been conducted on the effect of the application of VRE in the above industries (as mentioned above), it is still difficult to find studies on the effect of collaborative VRE in such activities [21]. This is even though research studies, like [22] which focused on the effect of gender in a VR collaborative experience, have shown that collaborators with different demographics appear to have different levels of satisfaction and immersiveness of a VR experience [23]. The problem is that in this and other similar studies the main research question is not the effect of collaboration but of the participants' demographics when collaborating.…”

The application of Virtual Reality Environments (VRE) has been gaining momentum as a relatively new tool to assist with mitigating various difficulties including abstractness of concepts, lack of user engagement, perception of disconnection from other users. A VRE may offer both synchronous and asynchronous experiences, in addition to an immersive environment which promotes users’ engagement. Past research has shown that, in general, VRE do improve the experiences they try to enhance in many aspects of human activity. Terms like immersiveness and 3D representation of real life objects and environments are, as it appears, the two most obvious positive effects of Virtual Reality (VR) applications. However, despite these benefits it does not come without challenges. The main three concepts/challenges are the spatial design, the collaboration interaction between its members and the VRE, and the audio and video fidelity. Each of the three includes a number of other components that should be addressed for the total experience to be fine-tuned. These include mutual embodiment and shared perspectives, teleportation, gestural interaction, symmetric and asymmetric collaboration, physical and virtual co-location, inventory, and time and spatial synchronization. This paper comprises a survey of the literature, that identifies and explains the features introduced and the challenges involved with the VREs, and furthermore provides various interesting future research directions.
