The paper investigates the role of an affective system as part of an ethologically-inspired action-selection mechanism for virtual animals in a 3D interactive graphics environment....
We discuss the properties of force-feedback haptic simulation systems that fundamentally limit the re-creation of periodic gratings, and hence, of any texture. These include sampl...
Learning to build and test virtual reality (VR) systems is difficult due to the many required knowledge (e.g. computer graphics, sound processing, simulation, interaction, etc.) an...
Educational games may be particularly suited to teaching social learning skills with virtual humans. We investigate the importance of social goals and engaging social interactions ...
This paper describes intelligent virtual tutors for interaction skills training who can serve the roles of demonstrator, coach, trainer, mentor, and observer. These roles meet the ...
