A computer-implemented method for providing a visualized virtual agent configured to provide a visual response to a user and configured to monitor over time one or more user-specific parameter,
- wherein user-specific data for at least one user-specific parameter are acquired by at least one sensor, the user-specific parameter comprising activity data of the user and/or physio-psychological data of the user,
- wherein the visualized virtual agent is configured to provide an artificial physiological color change response to a user for a current state of the user and/or for at least one visualized virtual agent state,
- wherein the at least one visualized virtual agent state and/or the current state of the user is determined on the basis of the activity data of the user and/or of the physio-psychological data of the user;
- wherein the visualized virtual agent is configured to adapt the artificial physiological color change response to monitored changes of the activity data of the user and/or the physio-psychological data of the user,
- wherein the adaption of the artificial physiological color change response comprises at least in part a color change of the visualized virtual agent for the at least one visualized virtual agent state and/or the current state of the user,
- the method comprising the following steps:
- monitoring over time, by a user-specific parameter monitoring component, one or more user-specific parameter of a user, the one or more user-specific parameter comprising activity data of the user and/or physio-psychological data of the user, and
- acquiring, by the user specific parameter monitoring component, user-specific data for at least one user-specific parameter by at least one sensor;
- determining, by a current state of the user determination component, a current state of the user on the basis of the activity data of the user and/or the physio-psychological data of the user and/or
- determining, by a visualized virtual agent state determination component, a visualized virtual agent state on the basis of the activity data of the user and/or the physio-psychological data of the user;
- analyzing, by a user-specific data analysis component, the monitored one or more user-specific parameter of the user for the determined current state of the user and/or determined visualized virtual agent state;
- determining, by the user-specific data analysis component, monitored changes of the activity data of the user and/or the physio-psychological data of the user;
- providing, by the user-specific data analysis component, the monitored changes of the activity data of the user and/or the physio-psychological data of the user to a visualized virtual agent rendering component;
- adapting, by the visualized virtual agent rendering component, the artificial physiological color change response to the monitored changes of the activity data of the user and/or the physio-psychological data of the user, wherein the adaption of the artificial physiological color change response comprises at least in part a color change of the visualized virtual agent in the range between a first color value and a second color value, wherein the at least in part color change of the visualized virtual agent comprises adapting a specific amount of pixels of the visualized virtual agent rendered with the first color value to the second color value, or adapting a specific amount of pixels of the visualized virtual agent rendered with the second color value to the first color value;
- wherein the color of the visualized virtual agent does not change completely at once within a short time frame from the first color value to the second color value or from the second color value to the first color value;
- and
- rendering, by the visualized virtual agent rendering component, the visualized virtual agent on a display device;
- wherein the artificial physiological color change is defined as a flowing change in color distributed over the whole shape of the visualized virtual agent.
