Achieving Enthusiasm in Virtual Live Concert Through the Synthesis of Sympathetic Audience NPCs

Summary

Virtual live concerts, which have attracted much attention from potential audience in recent years, are less enthusiastic than real ones. In this study, we propose a method for synthesizing Non–Player–Characters (NPCs) that can substitute for real audience to achieve enthusiastic virtual live concerts. Considering psychological factors, we synthesize audience NPCs that cheer synchronously through psychological interaction with the surrounding audience including the player.
