| Abstract | An interface agent with a life-like character on a personal and mobile computer based guidance system is a plausible interface design approach for supporting and mediating communication between the exhibitors and visitors of showcase places such as museums, laboratory open houses and trade shows. This paper discusses the design framework and applications of such interface agents based on an asynchronous hierarchical agent(AHA) architecture and empirical knowledge of character animation design. First, a locomotion design tool is introduced with multi-level abstraction of interface design, followed by the AHA architecture which is suitable for designing agents allowing user's control access at these different levels of abstraction. The architecture is tested with a board game called Malefitz in which the user can control player agents at various levels of abstraction. Lastly, a mobile guidance system with a cartoon-based life-like interface agent was developed and tested. Personalized ag... |
