Abstract
Recently, agents have widely surfaced as existences that interact with humans. In face-to-face communication, we can confidently communicate through each other’s bodies. In our future ubiquitous society, realization will increase that the place that receives information and the information content are closely related. In this study in a cooperative task experiment, we clarified how the body’s role in the information processing activity in the real world with agents and the relation between information and environment influence agent evaluation. We found that an agent with a body in the real world is more likely to follow instructions than an agent in the virtual world, suggesting that the body plays an important role in real-world based interaction.
