Usability Evaluation of Humanoid-Animation Avatar with Physiological Signals

Many researchers have undertaken studies on the ecological perception and immersive feelings of computer user interface implementation. However, there has been very little interest in the physiological signal based usability evaluation in the virtual reality area. In this paper, we compare physiological signals of scenario based animation and humanoid-animation (H-Anim) avatar to those of real life data. Our research results show that the physiological signals of the H-Anim avatar are similar to those of the real life data. By using physiological signals, usability performance of the H-Anim avatar can be measured more accurately and intuitively.
