Creating and Scripting Second Life Bots Using MPML3D
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of virtual characters becomes invariably common in computer games and other applications. So-called “bots” (computer-controlled virtual characters), may explain virtual settings in a natural way. We describe an example scenario in the online world Second Life [1] in order to explain to content creators how to create bots and script their behavior using the well established authoring language MPML3D [2]. MPML3D does not assume knowledge of a high-level programming language. In Second Life users are represented by their avatars (virtual characters controlled by humans) and its environment provides character models, animations and a graphics engine.

Extending MPML3D to Second Life
This paper describes an approach how to integrate virtual agents into the 3D multi-user online world Second Life. For this purpose we have implemented a new client software for Second Life that controls virtual agents (“bots”) and makes use of the Multimodal Presentation Markup Language 3D (MPML3D) to define their behavior. The technical merits and limitations of Second Life are discussed and s...
متن کاملMPML3D: A Reactive Framework for the Multimodal Presentation Markup Language
MPML3D is our first candidate of the next generation of authoring languages aimed at supporting digital content creators in providing highly appealing and highly interactive content with little effort. The language is based on our previously developed family of Multimodal Presentation Markup Languages (MPML) that broadly followed the “sequential” and “parallel” tagging structure scheme for gene...
متن کاملBots : Automated and Autonomous Performance Art in Second Life
This chapter explores the history, state-of-the art, and interactive aesthetic potential of “SL-Bots”. SL-Bots are avatars (i.e. “agents”) that are designed and controlled using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Second Life. Many of these SL-Bots were originally created in Second Life for purposes such as: rudimentary chatinventory management and copying, asset curation, embodied customer service...
متن کاملSAI-BOTS: Scripted Artificial Intelligent Basic Online Tank Simulator
This paper presents details of the specification, design and functionality of the Scripted Artificial Intelligent Basic Online Tank Simulator (SAI-BOTS), an interactive virtual environment that allows users to script tanks to fight each other. SAI-BOTS provides a 3D environment and allows the user to play with other people and learn basic programming and AI Scripting. The users can navigate thr...
متن کاملGenerative and Incremental Approach to Scripting Support Implementation
Many systems may benefit from scripting support, but the implementation of it is seldom trivial, especially if the system has not originally been developed with scripting support in mind. In this paper we describe a generative, incremental process for creating an intuitive Python interface to a large, hierarchic COM library. The approach is illuminated with the original, real-life
