When we approach a group, there is an exchange of a multitude of verbal or non-verbal social signals to indicate that we are looking to interact. We continue to share these signals throughout the interaction to portray our thoughts and motivations. W... Read More about Measuring visual social engagement from proxemics and gaze.
