Modeling gaze behavior for a 3D ECA in a dialogue situation

Published: 29 January 2006 Publication History

Abstract

This paper presents an approach to model the gaze behavior of an Embodied Conversational Agent in a real time multimodal dialogue interaction with users. The ECA's gaze control results from the fusion of a rational dialogue engine based on natural language interaction and a multi-users face tracker.
