This seminar delves into the theoretical aspects of Social Virtual Reality,
focusing on user interactions with virtual agents—computer-controlled
entities that mimic human behavior—and user collaboration through
customizable virtual avatars, which serve as digital representations of the
users. We will explore the design and functionality of both agents and
avatars, examining their influence on user engagement and social presence
within virtual environments. Key topics include character behavior and
appearance, interaction models, and the psychological effects these virtual
entities have on user experience.
