Abstract:
This paper analyzes impression in an user exercise while watching an avatar movement that performs interaction where actions of human are imitated by using the skeleton model obtained from Kinect sensor. In the interaction, the perception of the level of delay, impression of delay and habituation to the delayed movement of the avatar are investigated through some exercising experiments where the human raises and lowers both arms. For changing the level of delay, we prepare parameter sets with five grades of filter of Kinect library, and also prepare the“ precedent movement” and ”synchronic movement” to extract the inherent impression for the delayed motion. From the results of the questionnaire for subjects who experience the delayed movement of the avatar, those visual impression are analyzed by One-Way Repeated-Measures ANOVA. The novel habituation based on a certain level in the experience was discussed as follows: For the perception of the level of delay, it became clear that at parameter 3 and above, about 40 % of subject sensed ”delayed movement”. For the impression of delay, it came to light that the subjects feel uncomfortable with the ”delayed movement”. For the habituation to the delayed, we found that while the ”delayed movement” gave a different impression than the ”synchronic movement” and the ”precedent movement”, it cannot be said that impression differed in the ”synchronic movement” and the”precedent movement”
