Abstract

We contend that Virtual Actors will constitute a very important innovation for the edutainment industry. In this article, we will explore and deepen the concept of future Virtual Actors. We will also present novel applications that Virtual Actors will enable, and enter into user interface and interaction design issues related to the development of Virtual Actors. We expect to derive, from a deeper understanding of concepts specifically related to Virtual Actors, guidelines for future R&D.
