Gestures for an interactive animated agent
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents the architecture and implementation for an easily extendable gesture library to be used by a dialogue system. Main focus has been on creating and implementing gestures to signal turn taking etc. in order to facilitate for users to interact with a dialogue system. The idea was to make possible for the dialogue system to randomly select among a given set of gestures, depending what dialogue state it is in, and in that way make it more natural and non-repetative.
