Two Realities, One Team: Trust and Cooperation in Mixed Reality

from Intellectually Curious · host Mike Breault

A 2026 study investigates what happens when mixed reality introduces digital curveballs. In 104 participants paired to memorize nine virtual objects, researchers secretly swap the positions of one or two objects for one member. The invisible discrepancy triggers expectancy-violation theory, nonverbal synchrony collapses, and cognitive load spikes—yet teams still solve problems together, preserving trust. The episode distills design lessons for next‑gen AR wearables that foster cooperation and empathy.Note: This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.
