Modeller: 3D Face Generator

Export to 3D Studio (3DS), Maya ASCII (ma), Lightwave 6.x LWO2 (LWO), Wavefront OBJ, Softimage dotXSI 3.0 (XSI), VRML 1 (wrl), VRML 97 (wrl) or STL including all animation morph targets if desired. Morph targets are batch exported in a single command for users of Max (via OBJ or 3DS), and for any other application that reads OBJ, 3DS, VRML1/97 or STL. One license allows you to install as many copies as you need for 1 user. For example on your work, home and laptop computers, or when you change computer or re-install your OS. http://www.facegen.com/modeller.htm

Virtual People Factory - Home

This is an experimental program aimed at using Virtual People for education. You're probably here because you received an invitation or heard about the project from the Virtual Experiences Research Group. You're in the right place:

Services - Existor.com - AI Avatar Services - conversational AI - business education entertainment

Implementation Our technology can be integrated into a site in a hosted solution or on premise. Our implementation process will determine the most effective solution for your organisation. http://www.existor.com/services-overview
In the three years since its launch, Alior Bank has secured a significant position in the Polish banking sector. Virtual Assistant on Alior Bank website is designed to answer customers' questions about creating online account and helps them find essential information. In addition, the Virtual Agent is knowledgeable about the most common issues that users may have with online banking.

VirtualConstructor (COHIBIT) At Volkwagen's Autostadt in Wolfsburg, two virtual characters, Jara and Taron, invite visitors to build model cars with real car pieces. Using camera and RFID technology for input, the two characters seamlessly interact with the real world. They are controlled using statecharts, modelled in our Scenemaker tool. The project was also presented at CeBIT-07.

Relational Agents are computer agents designed to form long-term, social-emotional relationships with their users. We are investigating the use of these agents in task domains in which human-agent relationships actually improve task outcomes, such as in coaching, counseling, psychotherapy and healthcare. http://relationalagents.com/demos/

ICT Virtual Human Toolkit

http://vhtoolkit.ict.usc.edu/index.php/Main_Page The ICT Virtual Human Toolkit is a collection of modules, tools and libraries that allow users, authors and developers to create their own virtual humans. This software is being developed at the University of Southern California Institute for Creative Technologies and can be licensed without cost for academic research purposes. Mar 2 2012 - A minor release of the toolkit is now available, updating the Unity version to 3.5 as well as providing incremental changes to the Unity/SmartBody debug tools in the Unity Editor (VH menu in Unity). Dec 22 2011 - Happy holidays! The latest release of the toolkit includes the ability to interrupt Brad, improved support for higher resolutions, and a fix for text-to-speech not working properly. See Release Notes for details.

GRETA: Embodied Conversational Agent

Greta is a real-time three dimensional embodied conversational agent with a 3D model of a woman compliant with MPEG-4 animation standard. She is able to communicate using a rich palette of verbal and nonverbal behaviours. Greta can talk and simultaneously show facial expressions, gestures, gaze, and head movements. Two standard XML languages FML and BML allows the user to define her communicative intentions and behaviours. Greta can be used with different external TTS softwares. Currently she can speak various languages: English, Italian, French, German, Swedish and Polish.
The Teachable Agents Project combines research from computer science, psychology, and education to develop computer-based learning environments. These environments utilize animated pedagogical agents to facilitate science learning and the development of self-regulated learning skills. The use of animated agents allows us to extend the cognitive scaffolding provided by various computer tools and representations (e.g., searchable text, simulations, concept maps, etc.) by embedding them in productive and motivating social-constructive interactions (e.g., peer teaching, collaboration, and assessment). Recent work has focused on our Betty's Brain system in which middle school students learn by teaching an agent about a river ecosystem. Students study online text materials to acquire background knowledge, teach this information to Betty, and then assess her understanding using questions and quizzes.
