Dear virtual agent enthusiast,

Automatic facial expression detection is becoming increasingly robust and accurate. We envision the reproduction of a user’s facial expressions, captured with a webcam, on the user’s avatar in a computer game. Currently, we are conducting a series of studies to investigate the feasibility of this scenario. In particular, we are interested in the factors that affect the perceived quality of the facial animations.

To this end, we’d like to invite you to participate in a brief (10 minutes) online study:  www.zkshao.com/survey.php

We thank you for your participation! Should you have any questions about the study, please let us know.

Best regards,
Ronald Poppe (R.W.Poppe@uu.nl) and Zhi Kang Shao
