Virtual Assistant – An Agent Framework for Activating Interactions in Teaching and Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a novel framework of virtual assistant for activating interactions in teaching and learning. The virtual assistant is a robot agent or a CG agent that supports both contents production and presentation. For realizing a virtual assistant, we need the following approaches: 1) Video capturing and editing environment including a virtual assistant, 2) Hardware design of a virtual assistant, 3) Interaction design of a virtual assistant, and 4) Planning of speech based on background knowledge. In this paper, we discuss these fundamental technologies, and then explain our previous and ongoing research.
