Zusammenfassung
We present IGaze, a semi-immersive human-avatar interaction
system. Using head tracking and an illusionistic 3D effect we let
users interact with a talking avatar in an application interview scenario.
The avatar features reactive gaze behavior that adapts to the user position
according to exchangeable gaze strategies. In user studies we showed
that two gaze strategies successfully convey the intended impression of
dominance/submission and that the 3D effect was positively received.
We argue that IGaze is a suitable setup for exploring reactive nonverbal
behavior synthesis in human-avatar interactions.
