STEVE: A Pedagogical Agent for Virtual Reality (1998) Benjamin Lau 2020-07-31 | This video describes Steve, an agent we are developing that assists in the training. Steve is an autonomous, animated agent that cohabits the virtual world with students. Steve continuously monitors the state of the virtual world, periodically manipulating it through virtual motor actions.- Jeff Rickel and W. Lewis JohnsonInformation Sciences Institute & Computer Science Department University of Southern Californiahttp://www.isi.edu/isd/VET/vet.htmlThis work is a collaboration among many people. We especially thank Marcus Thiebaux and Erin Shaw for creating Steve's body, Ben Moore for his work on speech recognition, Randy Stiles and his team at Lockheed Martin for their virtual reality software and models, and Allen Munro and his team at the USC Behavioral Technology Laboratory for their simulation software and models. This work is funded by the Office of Naval Research, grant N00014-95-C-0179.

Team Training Tasks with STEVE (1998) Benjamin Lau 2020-07-31 | We've recently extended STEVE to understand team tasks which require the collaboration of multiple people. Students, instructors, and virtual humans cohabit a 3D, simulated mock-up of their work environment, where they can practice together in realistic situations. The virtual humans can serve as instructors for individual students, and they can substitute for missing team members, allowing students to practice team tasks when some or all human instructors and teammates are unavailable.- Jeff Rickel and W.
