Abstract:
Computer-based presentation systems enable the realization of effective and dynamic presentation styles that incorporate multiple media. In particular, they allow for the emulation of conversational styles known from personal humanhuman communication. In this paper, we argue that life-like characters are an effective means of encoding references to world objects in a presentation. We present a two-phase approach which first generates high-level referential acts and then transforms them into fine-grained animation sequences. 1
