Cultural Behaviors of Virtual Agents in an Augmented Reality Environment

چکیده
This paper presents a pilot evaluation study that investigates the physiological response of users when interacting with virtual agents that resemble cultural behaviors in an Augmented Reality environment. In particular, we analyze users from the Arab and German cultural backgrounds. The initial results of our analysis are promising and show that users tend to have a higher physiological arousal towards virtual agents that do not exhibit behaviors of their cultural background.

متن کاملIllumination Techniques in Augmented Reality for Cultural Heritage
Augmented reality technology is becoming important in developing visual representation of virtual environment. In augmented reality environment, the most difficult problem is to render the virtual object with illumination which is consistent with the illumination and shadow of the real environment. Without the consistent illumination, the realism of augmented reality environment will be reduced...

متن کاملMultiagent Simulation for Large-scale Experiments in Physical Environments
It is very costly to conduct experiments to test smart environments installed in large-scale public spaces (e.g. airports and railway stations). As a tool to examine the design of such experiments beforehand, we developed a multiagent simulator integrating a large number of software agents and humans into a crowd that can produce complex group behaviors. In the testing of our emergency guidance...
متن کاملApplying Virtual and Augmented Reality in Cultural Computing
We are exploring a new application of virtual and augmented reality for a novel direction in human-computer interaction named ‘cultural computing’, which aims to provide a new medium for cultural translation and subconscious metamorphosis. In this application both virtual and robotic agents are employed as an interactive dialogue figure. The main objective of this project is to create an intera...
