Virtual humans are used to facilitate interactions in sensitive contexts such as health-care. In such contexts, trust in the information source plays an important role in reception of the information. Prior work has shown that physical appearance affects trustworthiness in human-human interactions; therefore, we examined the effect of virtual human's appearance on users' trust. We ran a between-users study with 12 adult participants, who watched a video of a virtual human with professional attire (e.g., lab coat) or with general attire (e.g., button-down shirt). We examined the duration of eye fixation on the virtual human's face along with participants' self-reported trust levels. We found that there was no statistical difference in eye contact or trust between the two test conditions. |
