Toward a new generation of virtual humans for interactive experiences

Abstract

Virtual humans - autonomous agents that support face-to-face interaction in a variety of roles - can enrich interactive virtual worlds. Toward that end, the Mission Rehearsal Exercise project involves an ambitious integration of core technologies centered on a common representation of task knowledge.
