Abstract

Successful e-Participation requires a thriving community of users-citizens who engage and collaborate with governments and decision makers on key democratic and social maters. Effective community building and meaningful social interactions are contingent on strong, organic consensus achieved through engaging dialogue rather than discussions or argumentation. The emerging social Virtual Reality platforms offer new means of immersive communication that brings an opportunity to overcome some of the challenges identified to be hindering state-of-the-art e-Participation from supporting constructive citizen-to-government dialogue. In this paper we investigate the key concepts and explore the principles of dialogue and consensus building in the context of e-Participation. We match those principles with specific VR affordances and propose an Integrative Framework for Virtual-Reality-Mediated Consensus and Community Building. Finally, we discuss the application of the framework to e-Participation.
