Viewpoints AI: Procedurally Representing and Reasoning about Gestures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Viewpoints is a contemporary theatrical composition technique for understanding the expressive powers of gesture used to formally describe a dance performance or theatrical movement (Bogart 2005). We describe a computational system that integrates a gesturebased interface (Kinect), theatrical aesthetics framework (Viewpoints), AI reasoning architecture (Soar), and visualized embodiment of the AI participant (Processing) to explore novel forms of meaningful co-creative theatrical interaction in an interactive installation piece. Providing this ability to reason about a gesture’s meaning enables game designers to explore novel ways for players to communicate with intelligent game agents. Toward this end, we describe our prototype for live interaction with a projected virtual agent in an interactive installation piece.

متن کاملDialectic Approach for Using Viewpoint Discrepancies in Learning
The paper proposes a dialectic approach to exploit discrepancies of viewpoints for learning. The approach is illustrated with an elaborated example. A computational framework of a pedagogical agent capable of interacting with a learner for discussing different viewpoints in the same domain is outlined. The framework employs AI technologies, such as argumentation for defeasible reasoning, situat...
متن کاملPlaying with Cases: Rendering Expressive Music with Case-Based Reasoning*
■ This paper surveys long-term research on the problem of rendering expressive music by means of AI techniques with an emphasis on Case-Based Reasoning. Following a brief overview discussing why people prefer listening to expressive music instead of non-expressive synthesized music, we examine a representative selection of well-known approaches to expressive computer music performance with an e...
متن کاملAnalogical gestures foster understanding of causal systems
Sensitivity to the causal structure underlying phenomena is critical to expert understanding. Fostering such understanding in learners is therefore a key goal in education. We hypothesized that observing analogical gestures—which represent relational information in visuospatial format— would lead learners to notice and reason about underlying causal patterns, such as positive and negative feedb...
متن کاملSituation Calculus Based Programs for Representing and Reasoning about Game Structures
A wide range of problems, from contingent and multiagent planning to process/service orchestration, can be viewed as games. In many of these, it is natural to specify the possible behaviors procedurally. In this paper, we develop a logical framework for specifying these types of problems/games based on the situation calculus and ConGolog. The framework incorporates gametheoretic path quantifier...
