Abstract

Considering the spread of computers and the technological advances of recent years, research on persuasive intelligent user interfaces with a fifty-fifty relationship for communicating with humans is necessary. Recently, anthropomorphic user interfaces have been developed, such as virtual agents and robots. In this paper, we introduce an experiment on the effect on a human of persuasive interaction with a virtual agent which is capable of facial and verbal expression. Then, considering the results, we discuss an experiment on persuasion to maintain motivation, comparing human agent interaction and human robot interaction.
