“…Intuitiveness of an interface refers to the extent to which it allows the user to unconsciously utilize stored experiential knowledge (Blackler et al, 2005) that can lead to effective interaction (Naumann & Hurtienne, 2010). When users perceive an interface as being intuitive, it is found to have desirable effects on user experience, such as facilitating efficient cooperation among users and increasing users' enjoyment (Yoshida, Tijerino, Abe, & Kishino, 1995).…”

This article explicates the concept of user engagement by synthesizing a disparate body of scholarship, and suggests a measurement and a structural model for empirically capturing the meaning and process of user engagement, specifically in the context of interactive media. A second-order confirmatory factor analysis of data from two experiments (N = 263) shows that four attributes-physical interaction, interface assessment, absorption, and digital outreach-together constitute a valid and reliable operationalization of the concept of user engagement. A structural equation model reveals that greater amount of physical interaction with the interface and a more positive assessment of the interface predict cognitive absorption with the content, which in turn is associated with greater behavioral intention to manage and socially distribute the content. In addition, predictive validity tests show that the four subscales are predictors of attitudinal and learning outcomes.

“…In [Granieri et al, 1995] a system is presented to control behaviour of an interactive humanoid, and [Yoshida et al, 1995] presents a system that combines hand gestures and verbal descriptions for interacting with graphics objects. The VLNET (Virtual Life Network) system [Capin et al, 1995], provides a realistic representation through the use of motor functions, combined with interaction with the environment.…”

In this paper, we describe the enactment of autonomous agents and avatars in the web-based social collaborative virtual environment of REVERIE that supports natural, human-like behavior, physical interaction and engagement. Represented by avatars, users feel immersed in this virtual world in which they can meet and share experiences as in real life. Like the avatars, autonomous agents that may act in this world are capable of demonstrating human-like non-verbal behavior and facilitate social interaction. We describe how reasoning components of the REVERIE system connect and cooperatively control autonomous agents and avatars representing a user.

“…DIVE (Hagsand, 1996) is also built around a replicated database, but it allows interactive creation and distribution of virtual objects among participants. VIS-TEL (Yoshida, Tijerino, Abe, & Kishino, 1995), the Virtual Teleconferencing System, used a shared world database. The system displays 3D models of each participant in the conference, and changes in a person's facial expression are sent via messages to a central server and redistributed.…”

The availability of inexpensive and powerful graphics cards as well as fast Internet connections make networked virtual environments viable for millions of users and many new applications. It is therefore necessary to cope with the growing heterogeneity that arises from differences in computing power, network speed, and users' preferences. This paper describes an architecture that accommodates the heterogeneity while allowing a manager to define systemwide policies. One of the main objectives of our scheme is to allow slower nodes to participate in the session by preventing fast nodes from flooding slow nodes with too many messages. Policies and users' preferences can be expressed as simple linear equations forming a model that describes the system as a whole as well as its individual components. When solutions to this model are mapped back to the problem domain, viable solutions that accommodate heterogeneity and system policies are obtained. For example, slower nodes may receive less frequent updates than faster ones for one or several information streams. The results of our experiments with a proof-of-concept system are described.
