Abstract

The study of social interactions in Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) has largely focused on chat communication and speech content analysis. This paper introduces a novel tool designed to analyze social interactions among MMOG players by leveraging Conversation Analysis methodologies to systematically assess multi-party interactions during 6DOF Virtual Reality sessions. The Multiparty Conversation Analysis (MCA) tool can be applied in several MMOG contexts where social analysis is needed. In this demo paper, we present a specific application of the tool focusing on VR MMOG-based therapy for autistic teens.
