Abstract:In this paper we describe an interactive emotional social virtual framework for autistic young people age 11 -14 to learn verbal and non-verbal emotional expression in role-play situations. In order to provide an interactive learning environment with some degree of automatic metaphorical understanding from open-ended text input, new developments on affect detection for the processing of several metaphorical languages have been presented. The emotional gesture and facial animation have been created for users' avatars and activated by affective states detected from users' text input. Emotion appraisal and affect detection functions have been embodied in an intelligent conversational agent, who interacts with human users for drama improvisation. We have also conducted user testing with 24 autistic children to evaluate the overall framework. The work has the potential to improve autistic young people's ability in language learning and their social connection with other people. It contributes to the conference themes on natural language processing, interactive affective social interfaces and user studies of intelligent interfaces.

“…However, it focuses on building specific and unique believable characters, where the goal is artistic abstraction of reality, not biologically plausible behavior. Egges describe a generic model [10] and generate emotional, communicative and multiple character animations [11]. Perlin [12] create the autonomous digital actor to act out scenes using procedural animation techniques.…”

Abstract. Emotion, as an important aspect of human intelligence, has been playing a significant role in virtual characters. We propose an improved threelevel structure of affective model as "personality-emotion-mood" for intelligent and emotional virtual characters. We also present the emotion state space, as well as the emotion updating functions, to generate authentic and expressive emotions. In order to achieve the complexity and variety of behaviors, we bring forward a behavior organizing structure as the behavior tree, which defines four kinds of behavior organizations as well as the behavior tag and behavior message, to manage virtual characters' behaviors. At the end, we achieve an experimental platform BAAP, which prove our emotion model and behavior organizing structure to be effective and practical in generating intelligent and emotional behavioral animations.

“…One of the most popular personality models (the OCEAN model) describe personalities by five traits: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism [Egges et al 2003]. …”

“…There are several works that aim at describing how to model, implement and possible applications of virtual humans in terms of behavioral simulation (e.g. [de Sevin and Thalmann 2005;Kshirsagar and Thalmann 2002;Egges et al 2003]) which, in general, lies on psychological models that aim at mimicking real humans in a given context. One common feature that most of these works has described is to use personality traits and emotion models as a way of producing autonomous believable characters capable of showing individuality in such a way that they seem to be motivated by those characteristics just like any human.…”

Autonomous Digital Actors represent the next step in authoring movies with believable characters, in a way that will allow them to be trained for acting specific roles in a story, suggesting appropriate behaviors during their performance. This article presents an overview of the art of acting and directing and how these concepts were used to elaborate a Virtual Actor metaphor. Also, we present an agent architecture for describing and implementing the virtual actors' acting knowledge base.
