FakeMi: A Fake Mirror System for Avatar Embodiment Studies
M. Latoschik, J. Lugrin, and D. Roth. Proceeding of the 22nd ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and Technology (VRST), (2016)
Abstract
This paper introduces a fake mirror system as a research tool to study the effect of avatar embodiment with a non-immersive virtual environment. The system combines marker-less face and body tracking to animate the individual avatars seen in a stereoscopic display with a correct perspective projection. The display dimensions match typical dimensions of a real physical mirror and the animated avatars are rendered based on a geometrically correct reflection as expected from a real mirror including correct body and face animations. The first evaluation of the system reveals the high acceptance of the setup as well as a convincing illusion of a real mirror with different types of avatars.
