Maintaining the Identity of Dynamically Embodied Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
Virtual agents are traditionally constrained in their embodiment, as they are restricted to one form of body. We propose allowing them to change their embodiment in order to expand their capabilities. This presents users with a number of difficulties in maintaining the identity of the agents, but these can be overcome by using identity cues, certain features that remain constant across embodiment forms. This paper outlines an experiment that examines these identity cues, and shows that they can be used to help address this identity problem.

Clothes are central to how we perform our identities. In this article we show how these processes continue to operate in the lives of people with dementia, exploring the ways in which dress offers a means of maintaining continuity of self at a material, embodied level. The article thus contributes to the wider cultural turn in ageing studies, showing how material objects are significant in mean...

متن کاملArchitectural Strategies to Reduce Embodied Energy in Residential Buildings in Bandar-Abbass
The most common thing that architects and engineers are trying to improve is the building's energy consumption after construction. The energy consumed in the process of building a house receives plenty of resources, so a solution to the energy problem and the most appropriate materials for a building can be selected by evaluating the energy of the construction time (Embodied Energy). In this re...
متن کاملThe Conductor: Gestures for embodied agents with logic programming
The paper discusses how distributed logic programming can be used to define and control the hand gestures of embodied agents in virtual worlds, by using the STEP language as an interface between the constructs of logic programming and the humanoid model defined in VRML. By using this framework, different gesture dictionaries can be defined and variants of a hand gesture, according to dynamicall...
