Abstract
Recent advances in reconstruction and tracking technologies have allowed for easier live capture of humans as animated and realistic three-dimensional avatars. As such, traditional 2D video-based teleconference systems are evolving into immersive 3D-based ones, e.g., with teleported avatars situated in an interactive and shared augmented or virtual space. In such developments, one central concern, and a continued goal, is how to improve the teleconference experience and collaboration through the sense of co-presence and trust as felt by the participating users. In this study, we experimentally investigated the effects of the forms of the teleported 3D avatar (realistically reconstructed vs. character-like) and the environment background (realistic video vs. 3D VR) on the sense of co-presence and the level of trust. Our study shows that the participants generally exhibited a higher sense of co-presence when situated with a real environment background (realistic video) and greater confidence/trust when interacting with a reconstructed realistic looking avatar. These results can help the design of more effective collaborative teleconference and telepresence systems, according to their specific goals.
