Abstract: | Embodied conversational agents (ECAs) are computer-generated, human-like characters that interact with human users in face-to-face
conversations. ECA is a powerful tool for representing cultural differences and is suitable for interactive training or edutainment
systems. This article presents preliminary results from the development of a culture-adaptive virtual tour guide agent for
serving Japanese, Croatian, and general Western users by displaying appropriate verbal and non-verbal behaviors. It is being
implemented in Generic ECA Framework, a modular framework for developing ECAs. Dividing the ECA functions into reusable and
loosely coupled modules minimizes the effort required to implement additional behavior and facilitates incremental scale up
of the system. |
