Title
Investigating Social Distances Between Humans, Virtual Humans And Virtual Robots In Mixed Reality
Abstract
Mixed reality environments offer new potentials for the design of compelling social interaction experiences with virtual characters. In this paper, we summarise initial experiments we are conducting in which we measure comfortable social distances between humans, virtual humans and virtual robots in mixed reality environments. We consider a scenario in which participants walk within a comfortable distance of a virtual character that has its appearance varied between a male and female human, and a standard- and human-height virtual Pepper robot. Our studies in mixed reality thus far indicate that humans adopt social zones with artificial agents that are similar in manner to human-human social interactions and interactions in virtual reality.
