PhD Topic: Animated Agents in Mixed Reality Environments

• AR Puppet main project webpage

  Body and facial gestures as well as speech are familiar and widely accepted means of human communication. Animated characters, often with autonomous and affective behavior, have proved to be very useful in man-machine communication since they are able to exploit and deliver information through multimodal channels and thus engage the user in a natural conversation. Autonomous agents have been actively researched in recent years as an interface to computerized systems bridging the communication gap between man and computer, and the real and virtual world. Augmented Reality (AR) applications share the same goal through enhancement of the real environment with useful virtual information, where virtual objects appear to coexist with the real world.
