Interaction with Groups of Autonomous Characters
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a methodology for constructing large groups of autonomous characters which respond in real time to the user’s interaction, as well as to each other and their environment. The characters are based on steering controllers under the direction of a simple mental model which mediates between several conflicting behavioral goals. The characters are represented graphically by 3d models with a library of animated motions which are choreographed by the behavioral controllers.

Take or Wait? Learning Turn-Taking from Multiparty Data
We build turn-taking models for autonomous characters in language-based interactions with small groups of children. Two models explore the use of support vector machines given the same multimodal features, but different methods for collecting turn-taking labels.
متن کاملEmergent Stories Based on Autonomous Characters with Mindreading Capabilities
Virtual storytelling often uses a fixed, pre-scripted storyline, constraining the characters’ autonomy and behaviour. An agent-based approach provides possibilities of a narrative emerging from interaction between a number of autonomous characters. In this paper such an approach is proposed, based on autonomous virtual agents that have mindreading capabilities. The approach is applied to genera...
متن کاملDesigning Affective Interaction Paradigms for Animated Characters
This paper describes several interaction paradigms designed to enable people to interact in social and emotional ways with autonomous animated characters. By exploring a domain that lends itself to affective interactions, this paper may offer some ideas for enhancing emotional engagement in other kinds of products as well.
متن کاملSocial Capabilities for Autonomous Virtual Characters
In this paper we describe our work toward the creation of affective multimodal virtual characters endowed with communicative and other socially significant capabilities. While much work in modern game AI has focused on issues such as path-finding and squad-level AI, more highly-detailed behaviour for small groups of interacting game characters has been lacking in the literature. We apply our ex...
