Abstract
In this paper we present an experiment which investigates the influence of animated real-time self-avatars in immersive virtual environments on a communication task. Further we investigate the influence of 1st and 3rd person perspectives and the influence of tracked speaker and listener. We find that people perform best in our communication task when both the speaker and the listener have an animated self-avatar and when the speaker is in the 3rd person. The more people move the better they perform in the communication task. These results suggest that when two people in a virtual environment are animated then they do use gestures to communicate.
