Our immersive, interactive 3D video games simulate real-life
communication, allowing users to role play with animated "socially
intelligent virtual humans" that recognize the user's speech,
intent, gestures and behavior.
We promote extensive levels of engagement, motivation and
practice by providing "free form" storylines with
very wide ranges of game-play paths, interactive dialogs
and action options. For instance, in our Mission to Iraq language
training course if the user speaks and behaves correctly,
the virtual Iraqis become trustful and cooperative, and
provide information that users need to advance. Otherwise,
the virtual humans are uncooperative and prevent students
from "winning" the game.
Our authoring tools and the animations they create allow
us to quickly create draft review versions and beta versions
for testing, and then revise content as needed. By contrast,
video-based techniques do not offer this flexibility since
they require assembling a production team and scheduling
a video shoot, and once the video has been shot it cannot
easily be changed.
Every simulation is specifically designed to match the profile
of its target users, accounting for factors like their age,
native language, cultural background, native country, and
application. Key design parameters include length, storyline,
difficulty, and entertainment level ("seriousness").
Our solutions incorporate numerous innovations that span the
fields of interactive simulations, intelligent tutoring
systems, artificial intelligence, speech recognition, and
advanced software architectures.
