Key objectives for avatars
Our avatars are business tools

why business avatars are not like
game avatars
Similar conceptually, but also very different…
So what have we learned about creating avatars?
1/ APPEARANCE
2/ GAZE
3/ MOTION
AVATARS/ APPEARANCE
Low poly head only
Not enough information conveyed
Low poly head only
Not enough information conveyed
Low poly full body
Looks too robotic

Final Model
Name tags
Name tags and color
Name tags, color and flair easily identify each participant
Final Avatar
AVATARS/ GAZE
GAZE / SOLID LINE
GAZE / DIFFUSE DASHED LINE
GAZE / PLUMB BOB INDICATOR
GAZE / FLASHLIGHT
AVATARS/ MOTION
MOTION / NO INTERPOLATION
MOTION / WITH INTERPOLATION
AVATARS/ KEY TAKEAWAYS
1/ Avoid the Uncanny Valley
