Abstract

Understanding the human-computer interface factors that influence users' behavior with virtual humans will enable more effective human-virtual human encounters. This paper presents evidence of a significant relationship between behavioral indicators of respect by users and virtual reality technology factors. Moreover, we found this evidence in an application domain where respect for others is fundamentally important, health professional education.
