They can represent, totally or partially, the user (avatar) or other people (humanoids) in the virtual environment. The possibility to implement virtual humans leads to the investigation of innovative concepts, enriching research and applications in psychological science, therapy and rehabilitation. These concepts include: - Representation (whole body or body segments, mirror image); - Role of the virtual humans (body image, mental imagery, teacher, emotion induction, etc); - Viewpoint (first person, third person, bird’s eye); - Social interactions; Multiple users (several patients, patient-therapist); - Technical aspects (images, videos, 3D); Realism of the virtual environments, etc. Using virtual humans also raises significant challenges, such as: - the realism of their physical appearance, - their gestures and facial expressions, their behaviors - and their interaction with the user. In sum, the Symposium Program Committee invites presentations on that flourishing research area. During the symposium, presenters from multiple disciplines will help to clarify how, when and why we should aim to use virtual humans in psychological science and therapy. Keywords: Psychological Science, Therapy, Rehabilitation, Virtual Reality, Virtual humans, Representation, Role, Viewpoint, Realism, Gestures, Facial expressions, Social interaction, Multiple Users KEYNOTE Our Keynote lecturer wil be Prof. Ste’phane BOUCHARD, Director of the Laboratoire de Cyberpsychologie, University of Quebec in Outaouais, Gatineau, Quebec Canada. AWARDS Professionals, researchers, introduce your work and win a Laval Virtual Award! http://www.laval-virtual.org/awards/
