“Touching Virtual Agents - Embodiment and Mind” eNTERFACE’13 Project Core Team
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this project is to develop a virtual conversational agent that has the ability to touch the user using haptic interfaces. The focus is on generating believable communicative behavior of the virtual agent based on mental models of human-human communication. We will work on generating scenarios, building prototypes of haptic interfaces, and evaluating the user experience with the system. An existing virtual agent platform based on Elckerlyc will be used for the generation of agent behaviors.

متن کاملBody Ownership of Virtual Avatars: An Affordance Approach of Telepresence
Abstract: Interaction with and graphical representation of avatars in virtual environments is an increasing trend of our cyber-society. However, there is a lack of knowledge about how the human being deals with these computational beings. Projects in the field of telepresence seek to understand the human ability to achieve a distal attribution of him/herself, also known as ownership [1]. A larg...
متن کاملPresence and Embodiment in Mobile Phone Communication
This paper explores the temporal and spatial characteristics of mobile phone communication, comparing the experience of presence in phone calls and in virtual reality environments. It is argued that in phone communication interactional affordances create an experience of presence and a degree of embodiment. The theoretical framework adopted combines Goffman’s frame analysis with Gibson’s afford...
متن کاملSocial Dimensions of Robotic versus Virtual Embodiment, Presence and Influence
Robots and virtual agents grow rapidly in behavioural sophistication and complexity. They become better learners and teachers, cooperators and communicators, workers and companions. These artefacts – whose behaviours are not always readily understood by human intuition nor comprehensibly explained in terms of mechanism – will have to interact socially. Moving beyond artificial rational systems ...
