Popis: With an increasing number of artificial agents operating in the real-world, understanding the formation of conversational groups, or F-formations, around them can provide critical information for interactions. In this paper, we report on an experiment involving conversational groups of up to seven people. By capturing their positions and orientations, we compare participant F-formations when interacting with a moderator that is either physically present or shown on a screen. We observe differences in group formation based on the moderator embodiment, but also find that people's positions can be predicted as a function of the number of people in the group and the moderator's position.
