The paper describes an experimental presentation system that can automatically generate dynamic ECA-based presentations from structured data including text context, images, music and sounds, videos, etc. Thus the Embodied Conversational Agent acts as a moderator in the chosen presentation context, typically personal diaries. Since an ECA represents a rich channel for conveying both verbal and non-verbal messages, we are researching ECAs as facilitators that transpose "dry" data such as diaries and blogs into more lively and dynamic presentations based on ontologies. We constructed our framework on an existing toolkit ECAF that supports runtime generation of ECA agents. We describe the extensions of the toolkit and give an overview of the current system architecture. We describe the particular Grandma TV scenario, where a family uses the ECA automatic presentation engine to deliver weekly family news to distant grandparents. Recently conducted usability studies suggest the pros and cons of the presented approach. |
