| Abstract(in English) | Blinking has a dramatic impact on our impression of a fellow person. Synthetic blinking is widely used in virtual characters and avatars, in animated cartoons, movies, and video games. Correctly controlling the virtual blinking can possibly create more (or less) attractive characters and directly influence the impression these characters leave with the media users. We designed a blinking control system that allows simple dynamic changes of virtual human blinking patterns using a realistic and physiologically-valid computer graphics (CG) model. We evaluated our virtual blinking system in a controlled psychological experiment comparing the impression it left on users with the impression a blinking human actor left. In this paper, we describe our system and the psychological evaluation we conducted. We discuss the possibilities and limitations of attempting to control human impressions by direct control of our virtual blinking model. |
