在这项工作中，我们测试的假设，在虚拟现实（VR）中与智能虚拟角色进行交互具有更强的影响相比，在传统的非沉浸式平台，无论是在存在和可信度方面相同的互动。我们设计了一个警察面试的社会技能培训场景，基于在该领域的教师和专家的帮助下在真实的案例中观察到的互动。为了验证我们的假设，我们进行了两种治疗方法的实验：一种在VR中，另一种在传统的计算机屏幕上显示。我们收集了定性和定量的数据，使用工具的元素，从完善的存在和位于互动问卷。结果表明，参与者的虚拟角色的社会存在的感知更高的VR。实验设计鼓励进一步研究社会存在的影响及其对社交技能培训环境和沉浸式平台背景下智能交互设计的影响。
In this work we test the hypothesis that interacting with an intelligent virtual character in Virtual Reality (VR) has a stronger impact compared to the same interaction in a traditional non-immersive platform, both in terms of presence and believability. We designed a Social Skills Training scenario of a police interview, based on interactions observed in real cases with the help of teachers and experts from that field. To test our hypothesis, we conducted experiments with two treatments: one in VR and the other displayed on a conventional computer screen. We collected qualitative and quantitative data using instruments with elements from well-established presence and situated interaction questionnaires. Results indicate that participant perception of social presence of virtual characters is higher in VR. No significant difference in believability was observed across treatments The experimental design encourages further work on measurement of effects of social presence and its impact on design of intelligent interactions in the context of Social Skills Training environments and immersive platforms.
