Abstract

Virtual worlds are developing rapidly over the Internet. They are visited by avatars and staffed with Embodied Conversational Agents (ECAs). An avatar is a representation of a physical person. Each person controls one or several avatars and usually receives feedback from the virtual world on an audio-visual display. Ideally, all senses should be used to feel fully embedded in a virtual world. Sound, vision and sometimes touch are the available modalities. This paper reviews the technological developments which enable audio-visual interactions in virtual and augmented reality worlds. Emphasis is placed on speech and gesture interfaces, including talking face analysis and synthesis.
