This paper shows a new approach to model and control interactive objects for simulations with virtual human agents when real time interactivity is essential. A general conceptuali...
In this paper we present a new framework in Augmented Reality context for rapid evaluation of prototypes before manufacture. The design of such prototypes is a time consuming proc...

Educational Virtual Worlds (EVWs) allow one to circumvent physical, safety, and cost constraints that often affect real-world training and learning scenarios. Virtual humans can i...
There is a growing need for creating life-like virtual human simulations that can conduct a natural spoken dialog with a human student on a predefined subject. We present an over...
