Agent Personality Traits in Virtual Environments Based on Appraisal Theory Predictions

چکیده
The current work investigates issues of expressivity and personality traits for Embodied Conversational Agents in environments that allow for dynamic interactions with human users. Such environments are defined and modelled with the use of state of the art game engine technology. We focus on generating simple ECA behaviours, comprised of facial expressions and gestures in a well defined context of non-verbal interaction .

متن کاملHow do you like your virtual agent?: Human-agent interaction experience through nonverbal features and personality traits
Recent studies suggest that people’s interaction experience with virtual agents can be, to a very large degree, described by people’s personality traits.
