The effect of gender and attractiveness of motion on proximity in virtual reality
(2020)In human interaction, people will keep different distances from each other depending on their gender. For example, males will stand further away from males and closer to females. Previous studies in virtual reality (VR), ... -
Emotion Capture: Emotionally Expressive Characters for Games
(2013)It has been shown that humans are sensitive to the portrayal of emotions for virtual characters. However, previous work in this area has often examined this sensitivity using extreme examples of facial or body animation. ... -
Experiences and perceptions of emergency department nurses regarding people who present with mental health issues: a systematic review protocol
(2019)Objective: The objective of this review is to identify, appraise and synthesize available evidence related to the experiences and perceptions of emergency department (ED) nurses regarding people with any mental health issue ... -
Inversion effects in the perception of the moving human form - A comparison of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder and typically developing adolescents
(2013)The “body inversion effect” refers to superior recognition of upright than inverted images of the human body and indicates typical configural processing. Previous research by Reed et al. using static images of the human ... -
Investigating perceptually based models to predict importance of facial blendshapes
(2020)Blendshape facial rigs are used extensively in the industry for facial animation of virtual humans. However, storing and manipulating large numbers of facial meshes is costly in terms of memory and computation for gaming ... -
Learning How: Body techniques and the consumption of experience
(2018)Although the skilful body has been ever-present in research accounts of consumption experiences, no sustained attention has been given to the acquisition of skills necessary for successful engagement with those experiences. ... -
Perceptual salience of voice source parameters in signaling focal prominence
(2016)paper describes listening tests investigating the perceptual role of voice source parameters (other than F0) in signaling focal prominence. Synthesized stimuli were constructed on the basis of an inverse filtered utterance ... -
Subjective and Objective Quality Assessment for Volumetric Video
(Elsevier, 2022)Volumetric video (VV) is a novel formof video that allows recreation of real-world scenes in 3D with users consuming the content from any viewpoint they desire. This makes VV best suited for augmented reality (AR) or ... -
Sympathy for the digital: influence of synthetic voice on affinity, social presence and empathy for photorealistic virtual humans
(2022)In this paper, we investigate the effect of a realism mismatch in the voice and appearance of a photorealistic virtual character in both immersive and screen-mediated virtual contexts. While many studies have investigated ... -
Understanding the Predictability of Gesture Parameters from Speech and their Perceptual Importance
(2020)Gesture behavior is a natural part of human conversation. Much work has focused on removing the need for tedious hand-animation to create embodied conversational agents by designing speech-driven gesture generators. However, ... -
Universal and language-specific perception of affect from voice
(2011)This paper outlines the general results of a cross-language study of perception of affect from voice. The study aims to clarify how variations in voice quality (in synthesized stimuli) can evoke different affective coloring ... -
Voice-to-affect mapping: Inferences on language voice baseline settings
(2017)Modulations of the voice convey affect, and the precise mapping of voice-to-affect may vary for different languages. However, affect-related modulations occur relative to the baseline affect-neutral voice, which tends to ...
