Pseudo physical contact is used for communication in virtual environments such as VRChat. We hypothesized that the pseudo physical contact could affect interpersonal impression and communication, and the interpersonal impression would be modulated by appearance of body or avatar type. To test these hypotheses, we performed a questionnaire survey for VRChat users (N=341). In results, interpersonal impression and communication difficulty were improved after the pseudo physical contact, but the avatar type did not modulate the interpersonal impression. These results suggest that the pseudo physical contact could improve the interpersonal impression and communication in virtual environments.
