Anticipation in a VR-based Anthropomorphic Construction Assistant
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe an implemented system that anticipates user instructions in a collaborative construction task in virtual reality. The functionality of the system is embodied by an anthropomorphic interface agent and enables the usage of functional names for pieces of an uncompleted target aggregate in natural language instructions. Based on an internal model of the construction state and salience ratings for aggregate parts, an anticipatory system behaviour is achieved that tolerates imprecise user instructions.

Design, Construction and Evaluation of an Anthropomorphic Head Phantom for Assessment of Image Distortion in Stereotactic Radiosurgery Planning Systems
Introduction: In recent years, the use of magnetic resonance (MR) images in radiation treatment planning has drawn considerable attention. However, although the extent of a tumor can be determined in great detail on MR images, the geometric accuracy of these images is limited by distortions stemming from the inhomogeneity of the static background magnetic field, the nonlineari...
متن کاملA New Model of Car Following Behavior Based on Lane Change Effects Using Anticipation and Evaluation Idea
This paper aims to investigate a new and intricate behavior of immediate follower during the lane change of leader vehicle. Accordingly, the mentioned situation is a transient state in car following behavior during which the follower vehicle considerably deviates from conventional car following models for a limited time, which is a complex state including lateral and longitudinal movement simul...
متن کاملMax - A Multimodal Assistant in Virtual Reality Construction
In the Collaborative Research Center SFB 360 “Situated Artificial Communicators” the anthropomorphic agent Max is under development. Max inhabits a CAVE-like Virtual Reality environment where he is visualized in human size. Engaged in cooperative construction tasks, the human user meets a multimodal communication partner that employs synthetic speech, gaze, facial expression, and gesture. Combi...
متن کاملOn Anthropomorphism in Technology-Enhanced Language Learning: Does Modality Matter in Agent-Based Multimedia Instruction on L2 Idioms?
The present study aimed to satisfy a twofold purpose: On the one hand, it sought to verify the postulation that agent-based instruction could offer a compromise approach to teaching L2 idioms where form and meaning would be equally emphasized during instruction. Given that anthropomorphism has not been much under scrutiny, this research, on the other hand, sought to ascertain whether learning a...
متن کاملA Distributed Virtual Reality Application Framework for Collaborative Construction Planning Using Bimserver
ABSTRACT: As the architecture/engineering/construction (AEC) industry proceeds in the direction of digitalisation, computer supported collaborative work (CSCW) enhanced by building information modelling (BIM) becomes realistic for multidisciplinary collaboration in construction. Networked virtual reality (VR) supported by BIM servers, though showing great potentials in connecting multidisciplin...
