“…Due to recent advancements in immersive technologies [SP18], it is expected the trend to continue. VHs can be used in different domains ‐ users can be presented as avatars in virtual reality (VR) while communicating with other avatars in virtual spaces such as metaverse [WSZ*22], are involved in various applications [CGMB20] such as ecommerce [BJS*22], virtual gaming [AAB*13], visual effects industries and movies [TRL*17], virtual training [Kun06], interactions with virtual doctors [CDFG*22], sports [WDR*22], teaching [BDS23], cultural heritage [MDC18, KPP*21], and virtual try‐on for clothing [ZXK*21]. Particularly in non‐entertainment applications, VHs which resemble humans in their appearance and behaviour are of high importance.…”

Generating realistic animated virtual humans is a problem that has been extensively studied with many applications in different types of virtual environments. However, the creation process of such realistic animations is challenging, especially because of the number and variety of influencing factors, that should then be identified and evaluated. In this paper, we attempt to provide a clearer understanding of how the multiple factors that have been studied in the literature impact the level of realism of animated virtual humans, by providing a survey of studies assessing their realism. This includes a review of features that have been manipulated to increase the realism of virtual humans, as well as evaluation approaches that have been developed. As the challenges of evaluating animated virtual humans in a way that agrees with human perception are still active research problems, this survey further identifies important open problems and directions for future research.
