Abstract
In this paper, I describe progress in research designed to explore the effect of the combination of behavioral and visual fidelity of avatars on users. social presence in synchronous and emotionally engaged mobile phone communication. I specifically focus on ways to secure mobile phone users. anonymity while preserving their most important nonverbal affective behaviors. The research measures social presence in several dimensions, and investigates the impact of combinations of behavioral and iconic realism of avatars on the measures.

The results show that the masculinity or femininity (lack of androgyny) of an avatar, as well as anthropomorphism, significantly influence perceptions of avatars.

Results indicate that in new, unacquainted teams, seeing one's partner promotes affection and social attraction, but in long-term online groups, the same type of photograph dampens affinity.
The impact of avatar realism and eye gaze control on perceived quality of communication in a shared immersive virtual environment
394 Citations2003Maia Garau, Mel Slater +4 more
A comparative analysis of 48 post-experiment questionnaires confirms earlier findings from non-immersive studies using semi-photorealistic avatars, however responses to the lower-realism avatar are adversely affected by inferred gaze, revealing a significant interaction effect between appearance and behavior.

The possibility of a hybrid realism solution that maintains high copresence without lowering self-disclosure, and the benefits of such an avatar on applications such as distance learning and therapy are discussed.
