虚拟角色在行为和形态上的真实感对协作虚拟环境的发展至关重要。在这项研究中，我们使用了最先进的实时面部跟踪技术来跟踪和渲染桌面CVE中的面部表情。二人组的参与者通过视频会议（高行为现实主义和高形式现实主义）、声音（低行为现实主义和低形式现实主义）或“表情盒”（根据颜色、形状和矩形多边形的方向抽象地呈现面部表情的维度）进行互动。在视频会议条件下，语言和非语言的自我表露最低，而在表情盒条件下，自我报告的情绪表达和成功传递和识别最低。先前的研究表明，化身现实主义增加了出现，同时减少了自我表露。我们讨论了一种混合现实主义解决方案的可能性，这种解决方案在不降低自我披露的情况下保持高存在率，以及这种化身在远程学习和治疗等应用中的好处。
The realism of avatars in terms of behavior and form is critical to the development of collaborative virtual environments. In the study we utilized state of the art, realtime face tracking technology to track and render facial expressions unobtrusively in a desktop CVE. Participants in dyads interacted with each other via either a videoconference ( high behavioral realism and high form realism), voice only ( low behavioral realism and low form realism), or an " emotibox" that rendered the dimensions of facial expressions abstractly in terms of color, shape, and orientation on a rectangular polygon ( high behavioral realism and low form realism). Verbal and non- verbal self- disclosure were lowest in the videoconference condition while self- reported copresence and success of transmission and identification of emotions were lowest in the emotibox condition. Previous work demonstrates that avatar realism increases copresence while decreasing self- disclosure. We discuss the possibility of a hybrid realism solution that maintains high copresence without lowering self- disclosure, and the benefits of such an avatar on applications such as distance learning and therapy.
