Abstract

This paper describes an approach how to integrate virtual agents into the 3D multi-user online world Second Life. For this purpose we have implemented a new client software for Second Life that controls virtual agents ("bots") and makes use of the Multimodal Presentation Markup Language 3D (MPML3D) to define their behavior. The technical merits and limitations of Second Life are discussed and solutions are provided. A multi-user scenario serves as an example to illustrate our solutions to technical challenges and advantages of using the virtual environment of Second Life.
