Virtual Humans

چکیده
Imagine a simulated world where the characters you interact with are almost human – they converse with you in English, they understand the world they are in, can reason about what to do, and they exhibit emotions. Some of these characters may be your friends, while others will oppose you. Unlike current video games, being successful in this world won’t just be a matter of who is quickest on the draw or most adroit at solving puzzles, instead it will be the person who understands the social fabric and cultural context and can use interpersonal skills most effectively. Such a simulation could open up whole new horizons for education, entertainment and simulation. And, given recent advances in AI and graphics, it may not be too far off.

متن کاملParticipant responses to virtual agents in immersive virtual environments
This thesis is concerned with interaction between people and virtual humans in the context of highly immersive virtual environments (VEs). Empirical studies have shown that virtual humans (agents) with even minimal behavioural capabilities can have a significant emotional impact on participants of immer sive virtual environments (IVEs) to the extent that these have been used in studies of ment...
