具身理论视野下的智能虚拟助理可视化设计研究

Visual Design of Intelligent Virtual Assistant from Perspective of Embodiment

目的具身认知和存在现象学等理论为虚拟助理设计研究提供了新的视野,重构虚拟助理的可视化设计方法论,提升用户在交互过程中依托身体参与产生的认知理解和社交体验。方法通过梳理具身理论及其在虚拟环境下的用户研究,结合案例分析,指出用户的具身感知与虚拟助理建构社交关系的重要意义,并将这一论点融入虚拟助理的可视化设计原则及其方法中,进一步推演出具身交互的设计范式。结论依托身体参与产生意义的具身体验成为用户与虚拟助理间最直接有效的交互手段,虚拟助理的具身性构建了人机社交关系,促使虚拟助理的可视化设计应结合其具身本质及其社交化特征,从虚拟人格塑造(形)、非语言行为的视觉表现(动)到社交化的视觉反馈(情)3个层次阐释并建立虚拟助理的可视化设计范式。

Theories of Embodied Cognition provides a new vision for the design methods of Virtual Assistants,reconstructing the visual design methodology of virtual assistants,and promoting users’perception and social experience based on body in the process of interaction.Through the analysis of embodied theories and its user research under the virtual environment,and combining with case analysis,this paper points out the significance of social relationship between users’embodied perception and Virtual Assistants,and integrates this argument into its visual design principles and detailed design approaches to further deduce the design paradigm of Embodied Interaction.Based on the involvement of bodies,Embodied Experience becomes the most direct and effective approach to build the human-computer social relationship.The visual design of Virtual Assistants should focus on its embodied traits and its social attribute.The design paradigm of Virtual Assistants is interpreted and built from three levels including shaping characteristics,building nonverbal behaviors and designing the visual feedback of sociability.
