Abstract
In this article, we analyze the effects of visual entertainment factors included in visual cues on chat communication aiming to enliven exchanging chat messages. Visual cues such as smileys, avatars and pictograms are essential to make our communication successful. However, visual cues can be used as only a substitution to express user’s intentions. Therefore we propose a chat system with characters which change different forms according to chat messages input bye users with visual cues and we investigate the effects on exchanging chat messages.
