DOI: 10.1109/tvcg.2023.3247054
Abstract: We present PACE, a novel method for modifying motion-captured virtual agents to interact with and move throughout dense, cluttered 3D scenes. Our approach changes a given motion sequence of a virtual agent as needed to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tvcg.2024.3456148
Abstract: We explored the impact of depth of knowledge on conversational agents and human perceptions in a virtual reality (VR) environment. We designed experimental conditions with low, medium, and high depths of knowledge in the domain… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tvcg.2025.3549559
Abstract: Trust in agents within Virtual Reality is becoming increasingly important, as they provide advice and influence people's decision-making. However, previous studies show that encountering speech recognition errors can reduce users' trust in agents. Such errors… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jsr.70178
Abstract: Insomnia and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) often co-occur, despite involving distinct physiological mechanisms. The KANOPÉE application, a fully autonomous virtual agent that collects sleep-related data and delivers personalised behavioural recommendations over a 17-day period, offers… read more here.

DOI: 10.1145/3711101
Abstract: Many laypeople are motivated to improve the health behavior of their family or friends but do not know where to start, especially if the health behavior is potentially stigmatizing or controversial. We present an approach… read more here.

Impact of virtual agent facial emotions and attention on N170 ERP amplitude: comparative study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience"
DOI: 10.3389/fnbeh.2025.1523705
Abstract: Introduction It is known from the literature that face perception of virtual agents affects the amplitude and latency of the ERP components. However, sensitivity of the N170 component to virtual agent facial emotions, and level… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/app10186531
Abstract: People perceive the mind in two dimensions: intellectual and affective. Advances in artificial intelligence enable people to perceive the intellectual mind of a robot through their semantic interactions. Conversely, it has been still controversial whether… read more here.
