ABSTRACT
This research work introduce virtual embodied tutors in Virtual Environments for learning devoted to learning of procedures for industrial systems. We present a communicative behavior which, integrated in pedagogical scenario, permits on the one hand to realize the pedagogical communicative actions at a semantic level (e.g., the tutor explains the goal of an action) and on the other hand to realize such actions through human-like communicative channels (i.e., the virtual tutor's voice, facial expressions and gestures). The communicative behavior relies on a taxonomy of questions in order to interpret the learner's communicative actions and to generate the tutor's own questions.

Designing multiparty interaction support in Elva, an embodied tour guide
AAMAS '05: Proceedings of the fourth international joint conference on Autonomous agents and multiagent systemsAlthough social research into group interaction has flourished since the 20th century, the technology of embodied conversational agents for handling multiparty interaction is still immature. In view of this, we aim at designing agent systems to support ...
