Intelligent Control of Character for AR-Based Remote Psychological Counseling System

Abstract

As living standards escalate, the need to prioritize psychological and mental health has become increasingly clear. Traditional psychological counseling, constrained by fixed locations and schedules, cannot adequately meet the growing demand for informatization and intelligence. To overcome these constraints, we developed an Intelligent Control Auxiliary System (ICAS) for use in an Augmented Reality (AR)-based remote psychological counseling setting. A comparative experiment was conducted to assess the efficacy of ICAS against the system powered by motion capture technology, with participation from eight licensed psychological counselors who carried out system operations and contributed their professional insights. Most counselors recognized the superior convenience of the intelligent control mode when operating the remote psychological counseling system. Demonstrating similar effectiveness to traditional motion capture control systems, ICAS suggests a promising new pathway for remote counseling methodologies.
