SUMMARY:Reality Check: How Avatar and Face Representation Affect the Perce
 ptual Evaluation of Synthesized Gestures
DESCRIPTION:Haoyang Du (Technological University Dublin), Yinghan Xu and J
 ohn Dingliana (Trinity College Dublin), Brian Keegan (Technological Univer
 sity Dublin), Rachel McDonnell (Trinity College Dublin), and Cathy Ennis (
 Maynooth University)\n\nThis paper investigates how avatar and face repres
 entation influence the perceptual evaluation of synthesized co-speech gest
 ures. Across three controlled experiments, it shows that visual presentati
 on systematically biases judgments of motion quality and provides practica
 l recommendations for fairer, more reliable benchmarking of gesture genera
 tion systems.\n\nInterest Area: Research & Education\n\nKeyword: Animation
 , Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, Augmented Reality, Rendering, 
 Simulation, Virtual Reality\n\nRegistration Category: Full Conference Supp
 orter, Full Conference\n\nSession Chair: Alexandre Chapiro (Meta)\n\n
