Virtual and robotic pets are preferred by numerous people owing to their relaxing effects. With advances in XR technology, the use of virtual pets in the virtual world is projected to increase. However, the relationship among virtual pets has not been studied, because virtual pets offer an opportunity for interaction between themselves and users. Therefore, this study assumes that the observation of interactions among virtual pets has a relaxing and enjoyable effect, and investigates the use of positive and negative expressions (friendship and awkwardness) by virtual pets. This study explores the design of field creating by behaviors of animal characters. |
