Abstract

Nonverbal emotion social interaction is a direct communication manner for virtual characters. A believable virtual character has not only emotion, but also social norm, which include status, friendliness, time of interaction, interaction radius, and priority degree of interaction. In this paper, some new concepts on social norm are presented, a method of emotion social interaction is set up. A virtual character in the demo system has the ability of emotion social interaction with other virtual characters by the method.
