Abstract

We report progress on adding affect-detection to an existing program for virtual dramatic improvisation, monitored by a human director. To partially automate the directors' functions, we have partially implemented the detection of emotions, etc. within users' text input. The affect-detection module has been used for the development of an automated virtual actor. The work also involves basic research into how affect is conveyed through metaphor.
