(2013) Motion Capturing Empowered Interaction with a Virtual Agent in an Augmented Reality Environment. Adelaide, Australia: International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality (ISMAR), 1-4 Oct 2013. proceedings, 1-6.http://hdl.handle.net/10092/9302We present an Augmented Reality (AR) system where we immerse the user’s whole body in the virtual scene using a motion capturing (MoCap) suit. The goal is to allow for seamless interaction with the virtual content within the AR environment. We describe an evaluation study of a prototype application featuring an interactive scenario with a virtual agent. The scenario contains two conditions: in one, the agent has access to the full tracking data of the MoCap suit and therefore is aware of the exact actions of the user, while in the second condition, the agent does not get this information. We then report and discuss the differences we were able to detect regarding the users’ perception of the interaction with the agent and give future research directions.en“© 2013 IEEE.
