In this review, Jack Rachel illustrates the human social communication system through conveyance and decoding. Humans encode information in their facial expressions and decode the information of persons around them. There will be challenges that will arise with the dawn of the digital economy. This review illustrates one approach to address these challenges using graphics, social cognition, and vision science, among others, and discussing important knowledge advances generated thus far. This research will is key. It gives vital information on approaches and challenges that can integrate into the digital economy with the dire need to equip new technologies with details of human social communication. The approaches and demonstrations in this research will be very key for all the web-based facilities and developers. It provides more understanding of how to maneuver some of the challenges faced with the digital economy’s advent. Various cultures were used in this research, western Caucasian and East Asian, to understand which facial expressions communicate the same meaning across these cultures and those that confuse. This was done through state-of-the-art computer graphics, psychophysics and vision science, cultural psychology, and social cognition. It sheds light on the main knowledge advances it has spawned.
Press release: The Human Face as a Dynamic Tool for Social Communication
Human beings are a very social species. With the advent of the digital economy, more understanding of non-verbal social communication is vital for integration into the new technologies. A study of various social cultures reveals that various cultures bear different means of facial expressions. The findings highlight the need to develop similar facial expressions that will communicate the same meaning across cultures and do away with those that bring confusion.
