Abstract
Most of the time point-light figures are used for motion-recognition, which present motions by only displaying the moving joints of the actor. In this study we were interested in whether self-recognition of motion changes with different representations. First, we captured participants' motions and remapped them on a point-light figure and a male and female virtual avatar. In the second part the same participants were asked to recognize their own motions on all three representations. We found that the recognition rate for own motions is high across all representations and different actions. The recognition rate was better on the point-light figure, despite being perceived as most difficult from the participants. The gender of the visual avatar did not matter in self-recognition.
