“…The advent of multi-media systems and then Virtual Reality -immersive real-time interactive graphic environments -in the 1990s, created a new vision of a dramatic 'holodeck'-like experience [7,35] or virtual theatre [20]. Here a highly-immersed user could act as a character interacting with other artificial characters in an interactive graphical narrative experience qualitatively different from existing media -whether novels, theatre or film.…”

Abstract. This paper gives an overview of the UK network RIDERSResearch in Interactive Drama Environments, Role-Play and Story-telling, running for 36 months from September 2011. It discusses the three central themes of RIDERS: theoretical work on the conflict between interactivity and narrative content, problems, issues and tools relating to authoring, and directions in evaluation. It gives a brief overview of the current position in each of these areas and suggests how RIDERS activity might be able to contribute to them. Finally it summarises the overall RIDERS programme of activity.

“…In Hayes-Roth et al [Hayes-roth et al 1997], the authors describe a research on "agents that function as improvisational actors who spontaneously and cooperatively generate their stories at performance time". Their synthetic characters are improvisational actors that are defined by three structures: a plot is a constrained sequence of actions that involves a set of individuals, a role is a class of characters whose prototypical behaviors, relationships, and interactions are known to both actors and audience, and a character is a personality defined as a set of psychological traits.…”

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.

“…Hayes-Roth and colleagues [7] have implemented several scenarios following the metaphor of a virtual theatre. Their characters are not directly associated with a specific personality.…”

In this paper, we investigate a new style for presenting information. We introduce the notion of presentation teams which -rather than addressing the user directly -convey information in the style of performances to be observed by him or her. The paper presents an approach to the automated generation of performances which has been tested in two different application scenarios, car sales dialogues and soccer commentary.
