  • Abstract
    In the virtual space, as it is common that a user selects an avatar from several avatars provided to represent himself in the space, a number of users may use the same avatar As a result, it becomes hard to distinguish the users by their avatars. However, if each user uses a unique avatar, the relation between a user and an avatar will be one-to-one and the user can customize his own avatar In this research, we propose the Open Avatar Architecture (OAA), which enables users to utilize various virtual spaces using their own avatars. We also implement a prototype system to achieve OAA using pseudo-3D space we have constructed Using this prototype system, it becomes possible to control single avatar in multiple virtual spaces
