Abstract
Social interaction is a key element of modern virtual environments. This paper discusses how non-verbal communication (or body language) is vital to real world social interaction, and how it is important to carry it over to virtual environments. It is not sufficient for a character to passively exhibit non-verbal communication; non-verbal communication should be a genuine interaction between a real and virtual person. To this aim the behaviour of the character should correlate realistically with that of the real person. We hypothesise that this sort of correlational non-verbal behaviour enhances presence and outline work in progress to investigate this hypothesis. We present a virtual character that exhibits this type of correlational behaviour in an immersive virtual environment.
