Spooky Virtual Agents: Enter the World of Ghosts
نویسندگان
چکیده
As an alternative to naturalistic and servile virtual agents highlighted in recent years this paper presents idiosyncratic, supernatural and attentionbegging assistants as a new approach to agent based assistance. The paper portrays a society of disembodied, location-specific conversational agents (DELCA) called ‘Ghosts’ inhabiting a social Darwinist interactive narrative universe designed to promote both engaging and quality services. The paper presents the conceptual framework behind the ongoing trans-disciplinary work with DELCA Ghosts through scenarios and profiles. In addition we point to future research and perspectives related to entertaining ambient intelligence in general and DELCA Ghosts in specific.
