Abstract:
State-of-the-art technology allows for photo-realistic graphics but this is not always enough. The gaming industry is slowly evolving the art of story telling but no matter how compelling the graphics or thrilling a story, awkward character behavior often breaks player immersion. In previous seminal work [Pedica and H. Vilhjálmsson 2010] we showed how the social theories of human territoriality and face-to-face interaction can serve as a solid base to model reactions expected by users when interacting with virtual characters.
