Design Criteria for Communicating with Avatars and Smart Agents

Description

The project is designed as a preliminary project for an SNF application. The goal is the design and prototypical implementation of a parametrizable experimental environment, which allows to simulate and test the linguistic, visual and behavioural aspects of communication and interaction between a smart agent and a human being in virtual reality. Patient education serves as a use case, as it goes beyond purely functional dialogues and places high demands on the affective abilities of the Smart Agent.
