PANEL: AI NPCs in Embodied Forums: Humans & NPCs in Social, Education and Business 3D Worlds
Our panelists will explore how human social interactions in 3D worlds might adapt with the inclusion of AI-generated NPCs. Considerations include: Onboarding Processes to help users understand how to interact with NPCs; Designing ways for interactions with NPCs to complement rather than replace human to human interactions; How computer avatar embodiment may need to be different from human avatars; Environmental cues; Safety features allowing humans to manage their interactions w NPCs.
