Abstract
This paper describes a combination of three graphical processes for rendering a 3D avatar for an intelligent virtual agent (IVA) on a 2D display that increases the perceived presence of the avatar in the viewer’s environment. The results of an experiment that shows that these processes positively effect presence are presented and analysed.
