Avatar Arena: an Attempt to Apply Socio-physiological Concepts of Cognitive Consistency in Avatar-avatar Negotiation Scenarios
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Avatar Arena is a test-bed for the simulation of multi-character negotiation dialogues. Unlike other approaches to agent-agent negotiation processes in multi agent systems, the primary focus of our work is neither on negotiation protocols nor on optimisation issues. Rather, we are interested in the emulation of negotiation dialogues between affective characters that are embedded in a certain social context. In our current approach we try to exploit socio-physiological concepts, such as cognitive balance and dissonance. We illustrate the approach in the domain of meeting arrangement dialogues. A user can configure her avatar, send it to a virtual arena ,and have it negotiate on meeting dates with the avatars of other users.

Looking at one's own body has been shown to induce analgesia. In the present work we investigated whether illusory self-identification with an avatar, as induced experimentally through visuo-tactile stimulation, modulates the response to painful stimuli. In 30 healthy volunteers, a robotic device was used to stroke the participants' back, while they viewed either the body of an avatar, a non-bo...

Avatars are increasingly used to express our emotions in our online communications.
