Title
Perceiving attitudes expressed through nonverbal behaviors in immersive virtual environments.
Abstract
Virtual Reality and immersive experiences, which allow players to share the same virtual environment as the characters of a virtual world, have gained more and more interest recently. In order to conceive these immersive virtual worlds, one of the challenges is to give to the characters that populate them the ability to express behaviors that can support the immersion. In this work, we propose a model capable of controlling and simulating a conversational group of social agents in an immersive environment. We describe this model which has been previously validated using a regular screen setting and we present a study for measuring whether users recognized the attitudes expressed by virtual agents through the realtime generated animations of nonverbal behavior in an immersive setting. Results mirrored those of the regular screen setting thus providing further insights for improving players experiences by integrating them into immersive simulated group conversations with characters that express different interpersonal attitudes.
