Abstract
The research work presented in this paper represents a significant advance, specifically in the area of perception, within the multidisciplinary field of Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVAs) and multi-Intelligent Virtual Agent Systems (mIVAS) .Within the cognitive research area there are some studies underwriting that human perception can be understood as a first level of an “awareness model”. Bearing in mind these researches, we have developed a human-like perceptual model based on one of the most successful awareness models in Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), called the Spatial Model of Interaction (SMI), which has been applied to Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs). This perceptual model extends the key concepts of the SMI introducing some human-like factors typical from human being perception as well as it makes a reinterpretation with the aim of using them as the key concepts of a IVA’s human-like perceptual model.
