Evaluating User Perception Toward Pose-Changed Avatar in Remote Dissimilar Spaces

In dissimilar telepresence environments, where spaces differ in size and furniture layouts, researchers have proposed methods to adjust avatar movement to deviate from the user's while still adapting to the physical environment. From this perspective, this poster aims to investigate users' perceptions and preferences toward their adjusted avatars. Especially, we propose an experiment focusing on pose standing and sitting which is the most common pose when talking to others. We describe the system setup and initial results that show how users perceive their avatars when their pose category is changed to avoid physics conflict.
