Evaluation of Visual Impression of Delayed Movement of Avatar while Exercising

This paper considers psychological evaluation of the visual impression of the delayed movement of an avatar that performs interaction where actions of human are imitated by using the skeleton model obtained from Kinect sensor. In the interaction, the perception of the level of delay, impression of delay and habituation to the delayed movement of the avator are investigated through some exercising experiments. From the results of the questionnaire for subjects who experience the delayed movement of the avator, those visual impression are analyzed and the novel habituation based on a certain level in the experience is discussed. Keywords-delayed movement;avator;visual impression; habituation.
