Additional information
<22> User Interaction with virtual characters remains a bottleneck when developing interactive narratives. In this work we explore emotional speech recognition as an interaction mechanism, taking advantage of the use of characters’ affective states in the narrative generation system to adopt a unified approach. Users respond to prompts from the virtual agents unaware that emotional recognition is used rather than speech understanding, and still succeed in influencing the narrative. The system was also publicly demonstrated at the conference. This work has been undertaken in collaboration with the University of Augsburg as part of the FP6 project CALLAS and FP7 NoE IRIS.
