SPONTANEOUS AVATAR BEHAVIOR FOR HUMAN TERRITORIALITY

Spontaneous Avatar Behavior for Human Territoriality

The challenge of making a virtual world believable includes a requirement for AI entities which autonomously react to a dynamic environment. After the breakthroughs in believability introduced by modern lightning and physics techniques, the focus is shifting to better AI behavior sophistication. Avatars and agents in a realistic virtual environment must exhibit a certain degree of presence and ...

Rainforest Canopy Ants : The Implications of Territoriality and Predatory Behavior

After first being ground-nesters and predators or scavengers, ants became arboreal with the rise of angiosperms and provided plants a biotic defense by foraging for prey on their foliage. Plants induce ants to patrol on their leaves through food rewards (e.g., extra-floral nectar and food bodies), while ants attend hemipterans for their honeydew. Most arboreal-nesting ants build their own nests...

In dialogue with an avatar, language behavior is identical to dialogue with a human partner

The use of virtual reality (VR) as a methodological tool is becoming increasingly popular in behavioral research as its flexibility allows for a wide range of applications. This new method has not been as widely accepted in the field of psycholinguistics, however, possibly due to the assumption that language processing during human-computer interactions does not accurately reflect human-human i...
