Virtual Avatars as a tool for audience engagement
Description
Modern motion capture tools can be used to animate sophisticated digital characters in real time. Through these virtual avatars human performers can communicate with live audience, creating a promising new area of application for public engagement. This study describes a social experiment where a real-time multimedia setup was used to facilitate an interaction between a digital character and visitors at a public venue. The technical implementation featured some innovative elements, such as using iPhone TrueDepth Camera as part of the performance capture pipeline. The study examined public reactions during the experiment in order to explore the empathic potential of virtual avatars and assess their ability to engage live audience.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
