Impact of various types of smiles on perceived impression of virtual agents
نویسنده
چکیده
Smiling has a big influence on our every-day social interaction. In this article, the impact of smiling when applied to a virtual agent that serves as a health advisor is studied. Using experimental evidence from literature, three different types of smiles are compared in a fictional situation after being modeled on a virtual agent. These scenarios have been rated by test subjects in a practical experiment, and the results of this experiment have been analyzed. The results ended up being inconclusive, owing to multiple factors that include an unrealistic virtual agent and low number of test subjects.
