It should be noted that the social media function of some of these platforms also blend with online game communities, or more specifically, online VR game communities. Indeed, Kruzan and Won ( 2019) discuss the emerging blend between VR and social media on social VR platforms (e.g., Altspace VR, VRChat, Rec Room, Big Screen). Integration with social media functionality, online game communities, and wireless connectivity have all contributed to making VR an increasingly remote device 2. Further, the development and adoption of wireless 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) VR headsets affords greater flexibility in movements than what was possible with early VR headsets (e.g., tethered to PC, 3 DOF), thus enhancing the affordances of in-person communication. This is because social VR represents real-time virtual interactions between avatar representations of remote users, where in-person cues re-emerge as critical real-time factors. VR, and more specifically the networked connectivity of social VR (e.g., VRChat, AltSpaceVR), represents a novel blend of the in-person (i.e., physical) and the computer-mediated (i.e., virtual) (Kruzan and Won, 2019 Oh et al., 2019). Recent research have applied such concepts in VR settings, such as in perceived realism (Shin et al., 2019), narrative immersion (Cummings et al., 2021) and conversational immersion (Oh et al., 2019). For instance, in-person communication examines physical cues, such as proxemics (Hall et al., 1968), while computer-mediated communication focuses on perceptions of such physical closeness, such as presence (Lee, 2004) and narrative transportation (Green and Brock, 2000). Whereas, computer-mediated communication focuses on a distinction between in-person and mediated communication, VR represents a blend of both. In the current work, we argue that VR represents a potential methodological tipping point for the social sciences. We propose a systematic exploration into the role of movement in VR and virtual environments, both in terms of social perceptions (about others) and idealized perceptions (about self). The current work proposes to expand the logic of the Proteus Effect (Yee and Bailenson, 2007) from avatar-user appearances-based effects to a theory of movement-based effects 1 visвЂ“vis user and avatars in VR. We anchor this work upon the conceptual framework of the Proteus Effect, which argues that physical cues of avatars direct behavioral and attitudinal changes among human users in accordance with the perceptions tied to the avatar appearances (Yee and Bailenson, 2007 Yee et al., 2009). We investigate this intersection particularly in the context of Virtual Reality (VR), examining the transfer from human users in physical environments to avatars in virtual environments. Following the above, the current work explores the intersection of the persons and the affordances of their environments across physical and virtual domains. Gibson's ( 1979) perceptual theory of affordances added that perceptual objects are understood in terms of the possible actions that the objects can engage perceivers, thus binding the existence of organisms to their environment. Social psychologists have long argued that human behavior is a function of both вЂњpersonsвЂќ and вЂњenvironmentвЂќ, represented by the formula, B = F( P, E) (Lewin, 1936, 1943). Offered is a novel method that distills the blend of physical and virtual kinematics to contribute to modern understandings of human-agent interaction and cognitive psychology. This work presents both a theoretical (typology) and methodological (physics-based measurement) approach to understanding the complex blend of physical inputs and virtual outputs that occur in the perceptual experience of VR, particularly in consideration of the collection of hippocampal (e.g., place cells, grid cells) and entorhinal neurons (e.g., speed cells) that fire topologically relative to physical movement in physical space. With Protean kinematics, we offer an expansion the avatar-user appearances-based effects of the Proteus Effect to a systematic exploration into the role of movement in affecting social perceptions (about others) and idealized perceptions (about self). Avatar research largely focuses on the effects of the appearance and external characteristics of avatars, but may also warrant further consideration of the effects of avatar movement characteristics.
