About Virtual Humans
Imagine a simulated training where the characters you interact with are almost human -- they converse, they understand, can reason and exhibit emotions. Such a simulation will open up whole new horizons for teaching and learning. This is the mission of the ICT virtual human effort, widely considered the most advanced research project of its kind.
