Intelligent Agents Who Wear Your Face: Users' Reactions to the Virtual Self
نویسندگان
چکیده
The three-dimensional models used to embody intelligent agents are becoming increasingly realistic. We discuss two studies in which we embodied intelligently behaving virtual agents with photographically realistic models of human subjects' heads and faces. We then immersed those subjects with agents embodied with their virtual selves and compared their interactions and nonverbal behaviors to separate subjects who were immersed with agents embodied with virtual others. Subjects treated agents embodied with their virtual selves fundamentally differently than agents embodied with virtual others in regards to both measured nonverbal behaviors and questionnaire ratings. Implications for systems incorporating realistic embodied agents are discussed.

متن کاملF2FCrowds: Planning Agent Movements to Enable Face-to-Face Interactions
We present an approach for multi-agent navigation that facilitates face-to-face interaction in virtual crowds. We describe a model of approach behavior for virtual agents that includes a novel interaction velocity prediction (IVP) algorithm. This algorithm is combined with human body motion synthesis constraints and facial actions to improve the behavioral realism of virtual agents. We combine ...
