Abstract: Many perceptual challenges exist that make it difficult to animate perceptually realistic avatars and virtual characters. In particular humans are very good at identifying motion in humans; the need for matching realism in appearance and behavior (when it fails we experience the uncanny valley) and finally the importance bodies play in perception and action. This talk will cover several experiments that have investigated aspects of self-avatars and human perception of space and bodies. In particular we have investigated the influence of strength/power and appeal based on body shape. Additionally we have investigated several aspects of the body shape of a self-avatar and how this influences space perception and behavior. Human bodies are extremely important to perception and action.
