Abstract

In this paper, a hybrid framework for creating an instruction video by means of motion capture technologies will be explained. In this video an animated pedagogical agent named Anastasia (animated assistant for tasks in industrial applications) provides human operators with assistance while performing maintenance tasks in IPS2. Firstly, the paper contains a description of the creation process of an animated pedagogical agent which will be illustrated step by step on Anastasia. Secondly, the motion capture technology in form of a data glove will be presented. Thirdly, the concept and implementation how to improve realism of Anastasia by using the data glove will be introduced.
