Abstract
The paper compares the ability of users to take the perspective of a self-controlled avatar with the extent to which the perspective of an independently acting avatar is taken. In two experiments we showed that the participants were able to prioritize the perspective of the self-controlled avatar performing their actions over the perspective of the independently-acting avatar. Since the spatial frames of reference of both avatars were comparable, the participants' prioritization of the avatar's perspective was mainly attributed to the extent to which the participants had control over the avatar's actions (Experiment 1). Even in a direct confrontation with an independently-acting avatar, participants adopted the perspective of the self-controlled avatar (Experiment 2). Based on these results, we concluded that it is easier to take the perspective of a self-controlled avatar than an independently-acting avatar.
