Summary on Grant Application Form
This proposal seeks to investigate how the techniques and skills of dance and choreography can be borrowed and used to introduce a sense of atmosphere within a virtual reality environment. The plan is to determine how the movement of virtual characters (avatars and bots) in a 'crows scene' can be used to portray a perception (by the user) of atmosphere and mood as part of the multi-modal experience of using a virtual world. The project will include a set of user experiments to assess the degree to which users actually perceive the individual emotions which are represented in tests.
