[DC] Exploring Behavioral Dynamics to Enhance Collective Intelligence in Virtual Environments

Collective intelligence (CI) is a predictive measure of a group’s ability to perform a wide variety of tasks. It is an essential concept for understanding team dynamics and enhancing team performance. While extensively studied in traditional environments such as face- to-face settings or online interactions, CI remains underexplored in immersive Virtual Reality (VR). This thesis has three goals: (1) to analyze how CI manifests in VR through verbal and non-verbal indicators, (2) to design real-time feedback systems that enhance CI in VR environments, and (3) to apply these findings to immersive educational platforms to improve collaboration and learning.
