A gestural modification system for emotional expression by personality traits of virtual characters

Abstract

In the expression of human emotions, the level of expression differs even under the same emotion. In this paper, virtual characters that expressed different emotions by personality type were examined. For this, personality traits that have an influence on the creation of human emotions were classified and applied. For verification of the applied method, each personality type was implanted into a virtual character. Then, the same emotions were differently expressed by a personality test. Results confirmed that different emotions were expressed with different gestures depending on the character's personality. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
