Our paper “Collision avoidance behaviours of young adult walkers: Influence of a virtual pedestrian’s age-related appearance and gait profile” has been presented to SAP 2024 Dublin. This paper, authored by Sheryl Bourgaize, Michael Cinelli, Pierre Raimbaud, Ludovic Hoyet, and Anne-Hélène Olivier, is a collaboration between the VirtUs team, Wilfrid Laurier University, the University of Waterloo, and LIRIS. In this study, we demonstrate that both the appearance (whether the virtual human looks young or old) and its motion (whether animated using a young or older adult’s movement) influence how a user avoids it.
