Believability and Interaction in Virtual Worlds

In this paper we present a discussion about believability for Virtual Environments, emotional simulation and also Embodied Conversational Agents (ECAs). We will discuss about the definition of believability and the three elements of believability environments (immersion, presentation and interaction). We also present a discussion about believability and interfaces. Finally, ECA, emotional and personnality simulation are explained and presented.
