متن کاملThirdspace: The Trialectics of the Real, Virtual and Blended Spaces
This article aims to redefine the concept of Thirdspace and make a trilateral relationship between the three concepts of real space, virtual space and the user. To do so, not only the concept of Thirdspace has to be redefined, but also a new understanding of virtual space as a relatively independent space is required. This three-sided relation requires a new understanding of the relationship be...
متن کاملCaring agents make good teachers and friendly companions
The new field of affective computing makes it possible to develop intelligent agents (graphical characters and robots) that are able to understand and respond to human emotions. As computers became more powerful during the 1990s, artificial intelligence (AI) researchers began to combine their technology with interactive graphics. They were able to produce intelligent characters that could inter...
متن کاملAffective Multimodal Control of Virtual
—In this paper we report about the use of computer generated affect to control body and mind of cognitively modeled virtual characters. We use the computational model of affect ALMA that is able to simulate three different affect types in real-time. The computation of affect is based on a novel approach of an appraisal language. Both the use of elements of the appraisal language and the simulat...
