SL Metanomics series: Nick Yee

Nick Yee

Social scientist Nick Yee speaks at Metanomics: http://www.slcn.tv/metanomics-nick-yee

(note: the show takes a few minutes to actually get to Nick Yee. and then a few more minutes before Nick starts speaking about relevant topics)

Watching the beginning of the recording makes me all the more aware of the need of some immediacy behaviors when presenting didactilly. The close-up of the host and the speaker were great, but since there were no lip sync on the avatars, the lack of movements (head, hands, upper body) produced a boring event to watch (remember: i am watching a recording). I think I saw some low immediacy gestures such as the tip of the foot moving (the one that was resting on top of the knee. but this disappears when the camera closes up on the faces.
