Dr. Alan Cowen explains that despite varied and individualized ways of displaying emotional expression across cultures, there is an underlying universality in the meaning of most expressions, even subtle ones, that augmented reality could draw upon to enhance the communication of emotion across cultures.
Join Dr. Alan Cowen, CEO of Hume AI, and Arjun Nagedran, Co-Founder & CTO of Mursion, with Matt Forte in our episode on empathy and augmented reality (AR). We discuss how technology is poised to bring more empathy into the world, bridging physical, cultural, and demographic divides. Can augmented reality reveal and help us combat our prejudices? Can it serve as a liaison between people who communicate differently? Learn how companies like Mursion are already using AI-enhanced AR to coach people on how to be more empathic and communicate better in the workplace.
