摘要
In this paper, we present an overview of the current state of research in anthropomorphism as it relates specifically to product design, and then present a short pilot study of nonverbal sound's influence on anthropomorphism, through two short experiments, one qualitative and one quantitative. These experiments use an online variation of a virtual pet similar to the Tamagotchi, which we have called "Tamaglitchi". Results show that non-verbal sound increased the tendency to anthropomorphize a virtual pet.
