Exploring Behavioral Dynamics to Enhance Collective Intelligence in Virtual Environments

Collective intelligence (CI) is a predictive measure of a group’sability to perform a wide variety of tasks. It is an essential conceptfor understanding team dynamics and enhancing team performance.While extensively studied in traditional environments such as faceto-face settings or online interactions, CI remains underexplored inimmersive Virtual Reality (VR). This thesis has three goals: (1) toanalyze how CI manifests in VR through verbal and non-verbal indicators,(2) to design real-time feedback systems that enhance CIin VR environments, and (3) to apply these findings to immersiveeducational platforms to improve collaboration and learning.
