This paper introduces an approach to an interactive virtual streamer that provides conversational and tactile interactions, offering insights into levels of immersion and personalization for the user. User interaction is categorized into various types, such as the spatial nature of the virtual streamer's stream, along with conversational and tactile interactions with the streamer. We deploy the virtual streamer in a VR environment and conclude the efficiency of user interactions with the virtual streamer via a scenario-based assessment.
