Abstract

Non-verbal behavior, particularly eye movement, plays a fundamental role in nonverbal communication among people. In order to realize natural and intuitive human-agent interaction, the virtual agents need to employ this communicative channel effectively. Against this background, our research addresses the problem of emotionally expressive eye movement manner by describing a preliminary approach based on the parameters picked from real-time eye movement data (pupil size, blink rate and saccade).
