... investigating the effect of varying degrees of realism in virtual characters often refer to the Uncanny Valley effect. The term was first coined by Mori (1974) and originally intended to measure human psychological reaction to the anthropomorphism of robots (see Figure 2, adapted from Reichardt 1978). When plotting human reaction against robot anthropomorphism, the curve initially shows a steady upward trend, continuing until the robot reaches reasonably human quality. ...

... summarise, rather than simulating the real world accurately, we aim to take advantage of the innate cognitive abilities to perceive, recognise and interpret physiognomic clues that humans seem to have. With regard to avatar expressiveness and the uncanny valley, we are targeting the first summit of the curve ( Figure 2) where human emotional response is maximised while employing a relatively simple avatar model. ...

As conversational AI like ChatGPT becomes more sophisticated, understanding emerging quasi-social relationships with it is crucial. Through analytical autoethnography, we explore the nuances of these relationships with two autobiographically designed ChatGPT personas to augment the social needs of the first author: the Endless Enthusiast (always re...
Recently, HCI-related communities have explored ways to enhance conventional group fitness through interactive technologies. As one such approach, we considered how to design exertion games (exergames) for group fitness. In this poster, we examined group fitness swimming as a case study, and designed SwimTrain, an exergame for this group activity....

... The term nonverbal communication is used to describe all human communication and interaction that does not include the spoken or written word. Recent work in analyzing and defining nonverbal communication has come from the field of animation linked to the creation of virtual environments as described, for example, by Fabri, Moore, and Hobbs (2008). Much of this is based on Argyle's (1996) classification of nonverbal communication. ...
In this paper the author provides a detailed account of the processing and analyzing of data obtained through video recording during reflective practitioner research. She sets out five stages in the analysis of video recordings of classroom interactions during a series of educational drama lessons, from decisions relating to the selection of data for close analysis to the seeking of themes and finally to the presentation of conclusions. The researcher adapted and synthesized several processes derived from discourse analysis to produce a range of instruments for use in transcription and analysis of verbal and nonverbal discourse. These include a simple transcription key, classifications for verbal and nonverbal discourse, and a template for a transcription and analysis matrix.
Abstract. This paper presents a method for the representation of mood
in FACS-based facial expressions. To achieve this, a mapping of FACS
Action Units (AUs) into the Pleasure-Arousal-Dominance (PAD) space
is done. The PAD space is used as our mood model. From this mapping
a set of rules are obtained, which compute the activation areas and in-
tensities of each AU in the PAD. To validate these rules, we conducted
an experiment, shedding light on the AUs combinations that result in
recognizable expressions of certain mood.
