Abstract

This paper reports a preliminary result of a cross-cultural study on the facial regions as cues to recognize virtual agents' facial expressions. We believe providing research results on the perception of cartoonish virtual agents' facial expressions to HRI research community is meaningful in order to minimize the effort to develop robot's facial expressions. The result implies Japanese weighed facial cues more heavily in the eye regions than Hungarians, who weighed facial cues more heavily in the mouth region than Japanese.
