Welcome to this survey which is part of my PhD research on Embodied Conversational Agents: these are visual characters used in computer applications.
Embodied conversational agents communicate with the user using natural language and can act as virtual tutors, on-line advisors, sales people, virtual friends, as well as providing help on on-line transactions
In this survey we ask you to evaluate the attractiveness and realism of 29 pictures of existing embodied agents.
The survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.
