Kappagantula, Sri Rama Kartheek; Adamo-Villani, Nicoletta; Wu, Meng-Lin; Popescu, Voicu – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2020
We present a system that automatically generates deictic gestures for animated pedagogical agents (APAs). The system takes audio and text as input, which define what the APA has to say, and generates animated gestures based on a set of rules. The automatically generated gestures point to the exact locations of elements on a whiteboard nearby the…
