This concept has been developed in a social and emotional behavioral model for Embodied Conversational Agents (ECA) in the context of virtual therapy. In our paradigm, a virtual therapist interacts with a patient in order to guide and encourage him to fulfill their exercises. We are in...
متن کاملTowards a science of user engagement (Position Paper)
User engagement is a key concept in designing user-centred web applications. It refers to the quality of the user experience that emphasises the positive aspects of the interaction, and in particular the phenomena associated with being captivated by technology. This definition is motivated by the observation that successful technologies are not just used, but they are engaged with. Numerous met...
متن کاملImmersion of charged nanoparticles in a salt solution/air interface.
Electrostatic interactions strongly affect the immersion depth of nanoparticles into an interface. We prove this statement by measuring the diffusion constant of charged nanoparticles at a sodium chloride solution/air interface. Interfacial diffusion of nanoparticles slows down with increasing ionic strength of the sodium chloride solution. Hydrodynamic calculations are used to estimate the imm...
متن کاملPlanar immersion lens with metasurfaces
The solid immersion lens is a powerful optical tool that allows light entering material from air or vacuum to focus to a spot much smaller than the free-space wavelength. Conventionally, however, they rely on semispherical topographies and are non-planar and bulky, which limits their integration in many applications. Recently, there has been considerable interest in using planar structures, ref...
متن کاملThe pleasures of immersion and engagement: schemas, scripts and the fifth business
Presently, designers of interactive narratives and video games have only a slender understanding of the aesthetic experiences their audiences and users seek. Using schema theory, this study articulates the two varieties of aesthetic pleasures that users of interactive works enjoy: immersion and engagement. It uses schema theory to define the characteristics of immersion and engagement in both c...
