摘要: The VICTEC (Virtual ICT with Empathic Characters) project explores the use of animated characters in virtual environments for educational issues, such as bullying behaviour. 76 participants evaluated a prototype demonstrator. Results revealed high story believability character conversation rated convincing and interesting whilst movement was poorly rated. results imply that poor physical aspects do not have detrimental effects on interest levels.
