Virtual characters in agent-augmented co-space (demonstration)

چکیده
Co-Space refers to interactive virtual environment modelled after the real world in terms of look-and-feel, functionalities and services. We have developed a 3D virtual world named Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Co-Space populated with virtual human characters. In order to create realistic virtual humans, we have designed a brain-inspired agent architecture with the properties of goal-directed autonomy, natural interactivity and human-like personification. The demo will show how the virtual characters may enhance the interactivity and playability of the virtual worlds.

متن کاملSimulated Social Touch in a Collaborative Game
In this paper we present a study in which participants played a collaborative augmented reality game together with two virtual agents, visible in the same augmented reality space. During interaction one of the virtual agents touches the user on the arm, by means of a vibrotactile display. We investigated whether social touch by a virtual agent in a collaborative setting would positively influen...
