Touch Perception and Emotional Appraisal for a Virtual Agent
نویسندگان
چکیده
Building virtual agents that are able to perceive and appraise touch increase the lifelikeness and interaction possibilities in human computer interaction. In this paper we introduce work on how a sense of touch was realized for the virtual human Max and how he can emotionally react to it by appraising the different kinds of tactile sensation.

متن کاملScalable and Flexible Appraisal Models for Virtual Agents
Computational models of emotion are useful in a variety of domains, including games, virtual realty training and HCI to name a few. Many of these models are inspired by appraisal theory. Most appraisal theories share with virtual agents the assumption that beliefs, desires and intentions are the basis of reasoning and thus of the emotional evaluation of the agent's situation. Consequently most ...
متن کاملFeeling Touched: Emotional Modulation of Somatosensory Potentials to Interpersonal Touch
Although the previous studies have shown that an emotional context may alter touch processing, it is not clear how visual contextual information modulates the sensory signals, and at what levels does this modulation take place. Therefore, we investigated how a toucher's emotional expressions (anger, happiness, fear, and sadness) modulate touchee's somatosensory-evoked potentials (SEPs) in diffe...
متن کاملDesigning an Emotional and Attentive Virtual Infant
This paper outlines the design of a model amalgamating computational visual attention and emotion approaches for the purposes of driving expressive attentive and emotional behaviour in an embodied, situated real-time virtual infant. The themes of emotion and attention underlie all aspects of our model: from perception, to memory, internal state and behaviour expressivity. The model is focused o...
