Transitioning from Human Models to Virtual Beings
摘要
By adding Parallel Transition Networks, we can have multiple digital people interacting with each other and their environment. We add planning capabilities and speech generation. Led by colleague Justine Cassell, we create a synthesized full body animated dialogue demonstration. We extend some of these concepts in an interactive, language-driven, multi-player, animated system called JackMOO built atop the lambdaMOO interface.
