Abstract(in English) Our aim is to construct the system which can communicate with humans in their daily life such as in their home or pedestrian street. We propose the human-agent communication system using augmented reality technology. In the system the AR character agent has no physical body, and that makes it easier to work safely in the real environment of daily life. As a first step to implement the AR agent's motion control component, we focus on investigating the appropriate spatial distance and orientation of the AR agent with respect to the user through some experimential settings. We have constructed the AR agent WoZ system, in which the agent is operated under remote control by hidden operators, to get human-agent interaction data through experimental trials. I have collected the interaction data in one of the simple experimental settings : when the user sitting on the desk communicates with the AR agent standing in various positions on the desk. I have analyzed the appropriate spatial relationships between the user and the AR agent for communication. The result shows that the appropriate spatial distance is about 100cm which is categorized in the personal distance in Hall's proxemics.
