Building Synthetic Actors for Interactive Dramas
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the extension of an emotionally-driven agent architecture already applied to the creation of emergent narratives. Synthetic characters are enhanced to perform as actors by carrying out a second cognitive appraisal, based on the OCC model, of the emotional impact of their projected actions before execution. We present the evaluation of this approach and some initial results on whether it produces more ‘interesting’ narratives.

متن کاملA New Generation of Synthetic Actors: the Real-time and Interactive Perceptive Actors*
In this paper, we show the evolution from the earliest frame-by-frame synthetic actors to real-time perceptive actors living in distributed virtual environments or even in the real world. We first compare requirements and methods for frame-by-frame and real-time actors. Then, we introduce a new classification of synthetic actors with four categories: participants, guided actors, autonomous acto...

متن کاملInteractive Drama Authoring with Plot and Character: An Intelligent System that Fosters Creativity
Computer-based systems for interactive dramas allow the user to participate actively in the unfolding of a story in a virtual world. Various approaches have been explored for facilitating the human author in creating computer-based interactive dramas. Most of these approaches can be categorized as either story-centric or character-centric designs. In this work, we present a new framework that i...
متن کاملRobots as Social Actors: Aurora and the Case of Autism
This paper discusses the role of predictability and control in robot-human interaction. This involves the central question whether humans are good models for synthetic (social) agents. Design issues based on cognitive accounts towards robot-human interaction are discussed with respect to the author’s recent work on building interactive robotic systems as remedial tools (teaching devices) for ch...
