Abstract

The use of avatars, or digital representations of human-like figures, can facilitate embodiment in VR environments by providing a visual representation of the user within the virtual world that enhances their experience of the VR. In this study, we examined the effects of avatar appearance similarity on trusting human behavior toward no-human entities (agents). Our preliminary results revealed avatars with higher similarity has potential to elicit a relatively high level of trust.
