Abstract

This chapter discusses the design and implementation issues around creating an expressive but easy-to-author 3D character-based system. It then describes several application spaces, including simulated face-to-face collaboration, adaptive socially-based presentations in informal learning settings such as public aquariums and science museums, and multi-user, avatar-based distance education scenarios.
