Visual communication is the practice of conveying ideas and information through visual aids, such as images, symbols, graphs, and design elements. It encompasses the study of how visual elements can effectively communicate messages and influence perception, understanding, and behavior in various contexts.

Key research themes

1. How can multimodal and sensory-coordinated cues enhance joint attention and interpersonal coordination in visual communication?

This research area investigates the integration of multiple sensory modalities—visual, auditory, gestural, and physiological signals—in coordinating joint attention and social interaction. Understanding how people align their attention and actions via coordinated visual and non-visual cues is crucial for advancing theories on social cognition, designing supportive technologies, and improving communication in natural and mediated environments.

Key finding: The paper systematically reviews video analysis, motion tracking, and psychophysiological methods, demonstrating that interpersonal coordination comprises morphological and temporal synchronies across behavioral and... Read more
Key finding: This study advances a multisensory model of joint attention, showing that visual cues alone (e.g., gaze and pointing) are insufficient to achieve robust coordination. Non-visual sensory information not only enhances but is... Read more
Key finding: This experimental study reveals that the availability of shared visual information between co-actors determines the coordination strategies employed: limited shared information prompts the use of stable motor timing... Read more

2. What roles do visual and embodied cues play in supporting remote and hybrid video-mediated communication?

This theme explores how visual social signals such as gaze, attention, and body orientation can be effectively transmitted, simulated, or embodied in remote communication scenarios including hybrid meetings, tele-guidance, and video-mediated interactions. Understanding these roles is pivotal for designing technologies that bridge the social and attentional gaps between co-located and remote participants, improving engagement, mutual understanding, and social presence in mediated environments.

Key finding: The study presents a prototype employing omnidirectional cameras to allow remote participants autonomous gaze control and abstract visualizations indicating their attention direction to co-located attendees. Results suggest... Read more
Key finding: This paper introduces an AR-based tele-guidance system allowing remote helpers and local workers to freely move and observe non-verbal cues through head-mounted displays, supporting anticipatory coordination of actions.... Read more
Key finding: The ReMotion system employs automatic robotic proxies coupled with body and facial tracking to replicate remote collaborators' spatial movements and head orientation in open-space design meetings. By providing physical... Read more
Key finding: Through experimental comparison of eye-contact and non-eye-contact video-mediated communications, the study finds that systems supporting mutual gaze induce behaviors akin to face-to-face interactions during communication... Read more
Key finding: Developing a 'wedge' screen and proxy video system, this research demonstrates that aligning camera and screen geometry can improve the spatial presence and gaze awareness of remote participants in hybrid meetings.... Read more

3. How do multimodal expressions and visual language resources shape the communication of sensory perceptions and spatial information?

This research area focuses on the role of multimodal communication—combining visual gestures, language, and sensory modalities—in conveying complex sensory and spatial experiences. It explores functional linguistic patterns and embodied expressions used to share perceptual experiences, including architectural space description, spatial language in computer-mediated communication, and gesture annotation technologies that enhance the understanding of integrated multimodal signals.

Key finding: By analyzing architects’ discourse, this paper reveals that sensory perceptions are communicated via multifunctional language resources including multimodal adjectival expressions and motion-based descriptions of spatial... Read more
Key finding: Presenting a machine learning system for automated annotation of TV program videos, this study facilitates large-scale multimodal communication research by marking speaker presence and gesture-rich segments. It provides a... Read more
Key finding: This editorial frames multimodal communication as inherently multimodal computing–requiring integration and distribution of information across channels such as speech, gesture, and facial expression. It argues that AI and... Read more
